With this latest contribution, Salah has provided 92 Premier League assists for the Reds, equaling Steven Gerrard’s tally and a symbolic milestone for the club. After the game, coach Arne Slaughter praised the players’ performance:
He broke many records here. To play alongside Gerrard is special. I hope he goes further.
The victory brings Liverpool, currently sixth, closer to the top four. However, bad news came as Wataru Endo was taken off on a stretcher and according to his coach, he will be out for a long time. As for Salah, he continues to prove that he remains a key player for the Reds.
