Mohamed Salah's contract extension with Liverpool, formalized this Friday, seems to have instilled a new dose of energy to the Reds star. This Sunday, on the occasion of the West Ham reception in Anfield (2-1), the 32-year-old Follet Fire took the opportunity to enrich his impressive offensive assessment a little more.

The Egyptian right winger was at the origin of the opening of the score. Launched on his corridor, Salah overflowed before distilling a subtle pass from the outside of the foot for Luis Diaz, who only had to conclude. An offering that brings its total to 27 goals and 18 assists in 23 Premier League games this season.

Salah alone at the top

With 45 offensive contributions, Salah sets up alone at the top of the ranking of the most decisive players in a season at 38 days in the league. Nagrig's child does better than Thierry Henry (2002-2003) and Erling Haaland (2022-2023), both involved on 44 goals. He now has six days left to hope to drop the absolute record of 47 contributions, co-led by Andy Cole (1993-1994) and Alan Shearer (1994-1995), at the time of seasons at 42 days.

The number 11 of the Reds can also target another summit, that of the record of assists on a season of Premier League. A title shared between Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne, authors of 20 caviars respectively in 2002-2003 and 2019-2020. A legendary CAP that Salah seems determined to cross.
