Mohamed Salah scores 200th Liverpool goal as Reds move top of the PL table

Mohamed Salah scores his 200th Liverpool goal to help his side secure a late comeback against 10-man Crystal Palace as they move top of the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were in trouble after Jean-Philippe Mateta was fouled centre-back Jarell Quansah, and Mateta scored from the penalty in the 57th minute.

Moreover, the Reds were suffering as they hadn’t managed to take a single shot on target, but everything changed for them after Jordan Ayew was sent-off in the 75th minute.

Klopp’s side took full advantage of the situation, and just one minute later after Ayew was sent off, Mohamed Salah scored the equaliser for Liverpool.

This was also Mo Salah’s 200th goal for Liverpool since he arrived from AS Roma in 2017. The Egyptian reached the milestone in 327 appearances.

Furthermore, this was also Salah’s 150th Premier League goal in 247 appearances, having scored 148 for Liverpool and two for Chelsea. Moreover, he is just the fourth player to score 200 goals for Liverpool.

He will join Liverpool legends like Ian Rush (346 goals), Roger Hunt (285 goals), Gordon Hodgson (241 goals), and Billy Liddell (228 goals).

Furthermore, he has now also become the joint-10th top scorer in Premier League history, alongside Michael Owen, who reached the figure with 326 appearances.

In the added time, Harvey Elliot scored the winner, which was assisted by none other than Mo Salah. This was Liverpool’s third successive win, which has also moved them one point above Arsenal, who face third-placed Aston Villa later.

The Reds also have two home games against Manchester United and Arsenal before Christmas, and they will have a big opportunity to grab the top spot in the Premier League before the new year.
