Liverpool 2–0 Brighton
‘Mohamed Salah on the bench again’ – that was the headline of the live commentary before the start of the Liverpool-Brighton Premier League match at Anfield today.
However, due to Joe Gomez’s misfortune, Arne Slott was forced to bring the Egyptian star onto the field in the 26th minute. Salah returned after being out for two matches due to poor form and criticism of the club. And this one of the greatest players in Liverpool history also made a big contribution to the team’s 2-0 victory in the return match. Salah did not score; Ugo Ekiti scored both goals. Salah assisted Ekiti’s second goal in the 60th minute. Salah crossed the ball from a corner, and Ekiti doubled the lead with a header from close range. After eight matches, Salah contributed to every goal for Liverpool. However, he did not get a chance in three of these eight matches.
Salah's contribution to Liverpool's Premier League goals. A league record for a single club.
Salah set a new record with this assist. He has contributed to 277 goals for Liverpool in the Premier League. With 188 goals and 89 assists, Salah broke the record for most goals for a club. Wayne Rooney, who contributed to 276 goals for Manchester United (183 goals, 93 assists), held the record.
Liverpool scored before the match was even 1 minute old. Joe Gomez's header found Ekiti, who entered the penalty box from the right wing. Ekiti, who controlled the ball, volleyed it over the head of the Brighton goalkeeper and into the net. Liverpool scored in the first minute of a Premier League match since 2019.
