Salah became the fastest player to score 50 goals for Liverpool. He scored them against 24 opponents since joining Liverpool in 2017/2018 season.

“That’s great. I’m happy to score 50 goals for Liverpool. I’m very proud about that and I hope to keep scoring to help the team win games,” he told BT Sport.
Salah continued: “It was an important game. We knew before the game it was going to be tough, but the most important thing for us is the three points. We are doing well now.”

Salah’s second goal of the evening came via a penalty at the Kop end, and he revealed that James Milner being among the substitutes ensured he was mentally ready to take a spot-kick should Liverpool be awarded one.

“I shoot always with the national team so I’m not worried about that,” he stated.
“We have numbers here so Milly is No.1, I’m No.2, so I prepared myself even before the game for that.”
