Mohamed Salah to make Premier League record against Leeds. On Monday, April 17, Liverpool defeated Leeds United 6-1. With his first goal for the Reds, Mohamed Salah established a Premier League record. After Cody Gakpo had given Liverpool the lead, the Egyptian scored his team’s second goal of the game in the 39th minute.
The 30-year-old is now the player in league history with the most goals scored with the left foot. The goal Salah scored with his left foot against Leeds in the first half was his 106th in the Premier League.
In the 64th minute, Salah scored once more to increase Liverpool’s advantage to 4-1. He also scored with his left foot on his second goal, bringing his total for left-footed goals in the Premier League to 107.
Currently, Salah has 135 goals in 223 Premier League games. Since his arrival in 2017, he has scored 182 goals in 297 games for Liverpool. The Egyptian forward began his career with the Reds but later made appearances for Chelsea in the Premier League.
Liverpool humiliated relegation-threatened Leeds 6-1 at Elland Road. Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez each scored one goal for the Reds, while Salah and Diogo Jota each scored twice. In the 47th minute, Leeds’ lone goal of the game was scored by Luis Sinisterra.
On April 9, Mohamed Salah had a mixed performance as Liverpool launched a comeback to draw 2-2 with Arsenal.
The forward scored a goal, but he also missed a penalty against Arsenal. The Egyptian’s last-ditch deflected shot might have been the game-winner, but an amazing Aaron Ramsdale save prevented it.
The Reds, according to Salah, controlled the game, and the showing should give the season some momentum moving forward. According to the official website of Liverpool, he stated: “[Arsenal] Top of the table, we played well against them, they are a really excellent team. However, I believe that we were the better team, particularly in the second half; some of our chances went awry. So perhaps that will motivate us for the upcoming games.
After beating Leeds, Jurgen Klopp’s team snapped a five-game losing streak across all competitions. With 47 points after 30 games, they are ranked seventh in the Premier League.
