Mohamed Salah has reached a historic milestone by becoming the 4th highest goalscorer of all time in the Premier League. By scoring a decisive penalty in stoppage time during Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Burnley, the Egyptian forward brought his total to 188 goals, surpassing Andrew Cole, who previously held the fourth place with 187 goals. This achievement further confirms Salah’s status as one of the most prolific and consistent forwards of the modern era.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has scored almost all of his goals in the Premier League, totaling nearly 244 goals across all competitions for the club. His 2024-2025 season is particularly remarkable, with 28 goals and 18 assists in 35 league matches, perfectly illustrating his offensive influence and exceptional consistency. His immediate goal is now to reach the top three in the Premier League scorers’ list, currently held by Wayne Rooney with 208 goals.
In the all-time ranking, Salah follows three legendary figures: Alan Shearer (260 goals), Harry Kane (213 goals), and Wayne Rooney (208 goals). This notable progression highlights Salah’s key role in the history of English football. By breaking Andrew Cole’s record and rapidly approaching Rooney, he solidifies his stature as a Premier League icon and more broadly as an ambassador of African football worldwide.
Beyond his league exploits, Salah also stands out for his achievements with Liverpool and performances in European competitions. Personal records such as scoring at least 20 goals in seven consecutive seasons for Liverpool emphasize his longevity and consistently high-level quality. His commitment to Liverpool, despite lucrative offers from Saudi clubs, also underlines his loyalty and determination to continue shaping the history of the club and global football.
