Mohamed Salah reached a landmark 250 goals for Liverpool when he opened the scoring in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
The goal arrived after a loose pass from Emiliano Mart\u00ednez left the goalkeeper exposed. Salah reacted quickly to a sloppy ball and converted into an empty net. It was among the easiest goals of Salah\u2019s career and took his overall tally for Liverpool to 250, a total matched only by Roger Hunt and Ian Rush in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling to score goals for such a big club, it\u2019s something I don’t take for granted,\u201d Salah reflected. \u201cI\u2019m so proud and happy about that achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manager Arne Slot praised the milestone and the wider contribution Salah made in the match. \u201cIt\u2019s huge,\u201d Slot said of Salah\u2019s latest achievement. \u201cIt is almost unbelievable if you score 250 goals, let alone 250 goals for one club. You don\u2019t see that much in football any more.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from the goal he had a very good performance. When we had to play long, we mainly played to him and he held the ball and the team could come to him. What I liked was that he also helped the team defensively as well. After the first goal he was helping Virgil [van Dijk] around the halfway line. I liked his performance tonight. For him to score is not special but 250 is special.\u201d<\/p>\n
The milestone places Salah third on Liverpool\u2019s all-time scoring list. The club\u2019s leading scorers and their appearance totals are: Ian Rush 346 goals in 660 appearances; Roger Hunt 285 in 492; Mohamed Salah 250 in 415; Gordon Hodgson 241 in 377; Billy Liddell 228 in 534; Steven Gerrard 186 in 710; Robbie Fowler 183 in 369; Kenny Dalglish 172 in 515; Michael Owen 158 in 297; Harry Chambers 151 in 339.<\/p>\n
