Mohamed Salah will play his 442nd and final Liverpool game against Brentford at Anfield this weekend ending a historic 9 year run.

A monumental Goalscoring record

The journey is officially concluding. The upcoming clash against Brentford marks the end of Salah's illustrious Anfield career.

He departs as the third-highest scorer in the club’s rich history sitting only behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt having leapfrogged legends like Kenny Dalglish & Steven Gerrard.

He did not just score, he created. Salah leaves Merseyside with a staggering 257 goal and 119 assist averaging a direct goal contribution almost every 94 minute.

He firmly cemented his status as Liverpool's all time Premier League top scorer back in March 2023 dismantling Robbie Fowler's record during a historic 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United.

The unmatched 2024 /25 campaign

Salah's 2024 /25 season will go down in Premier League folklore. He achieved something previously thought impossible:

Winning the Player of the Season, the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award all in a single campaign.

Netting 29 goal and providing 18 assist, he reached 47 direct goal contributions. While Alan Shearer & Andy Cole hit similar numbers, they did so in 42 game seasons. Salah achieved this in a standard 38 game calendar setting a new benchmark for efficiency.

Evolving the modern winger

To fully appreciate Salah's impact, we must look beyond the raw data. Arriving in 2017 as explosive, pace reliant wide forward, he steadily evolved into a complete creative hub.

By mastering the art of cutting inside and manipulating half spaces, he forced opposing managers to entirely rethink their defensive shapes.

His peers and critics recognized this sustained brilliance. The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) crowned him Player of the Year 3 time, a first in English football history.

Furthermore according to French language publication Al-Ahram Hebdo citing the FWA, his third Football Writers' Association award in 2025 saw him capture nearly 90% of the journalists' votes tying Thierry Henry's all time record.

A legacy etched in gold

Salah’s departure draws a natural historical parallel to Thierry Henry’s legendary peak at Arsenal.

For over two decade, Henry’s 2002 /03 season, where the Frenchman recorded 24 goal and 20 assist (44 total contributions), was considered the absolute gold standard for a Premier League forward.

Tactical analysts regularly debated if anyone could ever replicate that specific dual threat of elite finishing and elite playmaking in a modern, heavily structured tactical era.
