This Saturday afternoon, Liverpool turned the tide on Wolverhampton’s pitch at Molineux (3-1) and temporarily became leader of the Premier League, thus moving ahead of Manchester City in the standings. Against Wolves, Mohamed Salah took the opportunity to score a hat-trick… of assists to serve Cody Gakpo, Andrew Robertson and Harvey Eliott in the second half. Enough to allow the 31-year-old winger, in the sights of Al-Ittihad this summer, to mark a little more the history of the Premier League in the red jersey.
With these offerings, the Egyptian international striker rose to 64 assists to become the only African best passer in the history of the Premier League, while he was tied before this meeting with the Algerian international Riyad Mahrez (61 pd between Leicester and Manchester City), who left this summer for Saudi Arabia at Al-Ahli. A new record for the Pharaoh with 89 caps (49 goals), who has already marked the championship across the Channel with his efficiency in front of goal, being the 5th scorer in the history of the Reds (188 goals).
