Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah made his 100th appearance in the Premier League against Bournemouth and marked the occasion with his 63rd goal for the Reds.
The Egyptian king netted his team’s third goal in the 54th minute as the breakaway leaders recorded a 3-0 away victory at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
The 27-year-old attacker now has the fourth-most goals in the history of players in their first 100 Premier League games.
The topmost goalscorer in the Premier League history, Alan Shearer is unsurprisingly at the summit of the list with 79 strikes in his first century of top-flight games
Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy had 68 goals while Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero had 64 in their initial 100 games and those two are the only other players just ahead of Salah, whose strike against the Cherries was his seventh top-flight goal of 2019-20 campaign.
It was also the first Premier League goal Salah has scored away from Anfield this term as Liverpool continued their incredible unbeaten run in England’s top division.
Guinea midfielder Naby Keita set Salah up in the second half, returning the favor after the 27-year-old had earlier created his goal with a backheel pass, which was Liverpool’s second. England international Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring as Jurgen Klopp’s side stretched their unbeaten start to 16 matches notching up 46 points in the hope to end their 30 years wait for a Premier League title.
