The Records That Salah Broke in the Manchester City Match

Liverpool stunned Manchester City with commanding 2 - 0 victory at the Etihad Stadium, as Mohamed Salah once again proved to be the difference maker. The Egyptian forward opened the scoring in the 14th minute with clinical finish before assisting Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal to seal the win.

Historic Night for Salah

This match marked the first ever Premier League showdown between Salah and fellow egyptian Omar Marmoush who recently joined City. Marmoush had goal ruled out for offside but salah stole the spotlight by becoming the most influential player in Liverpool vs Man City clashes, surpassing Steven Gerrard’s 14 goal contributions with his 15th.

Salah’s impact this season has been nothing short of extraordinary:

• He's now scored or assisted in 11 different PL games this season, setting new milestone.
• He became the first player in PL history to register 40+ goal contributions in 2 different seasons 2017/18 & 2024/25.
• With 25 league goal and 16 assist so far Salah's on track to break his own record for most goal involvements in single campaign.
• He's now the 1st player in over 120 year to score 25 goal in his first 27 league game for Liverpool, feat last achieved by Sam Raybould in 1902 /03.
• Salah's also the only player in EPL history to score and assist in both league matches against the reigning champions in single season.

What’s Next for Liverpool?

With Salah at the peak of his powers, liverpool now turn their focus to their next challenge against newcastle united at anfield on february 26. As the Reds push for the Premier League title their egyptian talisman continues to write his name in the history books.
