Salah makes new Premier League record as Liverpool hammer West Ham
Mohamed Salah was the show’s star as Liverpool ended 2024 in style with a 5-0 thrashing of West Ham on Sunday night. The Egyptian forward scored once and set up two goals, breaking records and making history in the Premier League.
Salah Sets New Record
Salah became the first player in Premier League history to score and assist in eight different matches during a single season. He has achieved this feat seven other times this campaign.
Still at the Top at 32
At 32, Salah remains one of the best in the game. He has been crucial to Liverpool’s success under new manager Arne Slot, whose tactical changes have revitalised the team.
With Salah’s contract ending in the summer of 2025, Liverpool will likely prioritise extending his stay at Anfield.
Salah’s Impact This Season
Salah’s two assists against West Ham pushed him into 10th place on the Premier League’s all-time assist chart with 81, overtaking David Beckham. He has also contributed directly to 30 goals this season, with 17 goals and 13 assists in just 18 matches.
Liverpool’s Bright Future
Under Slot, Liverpool have become serious contenders again, combining fluid attacking football with solid tactical discipline. Salah’s form has been central to this resurgence, and his contributions suggest even greater achievements could be on the horizon for the Reds.
