Salah assisted Diogo Jota’s opener for Liverpool, before scoring a goal himself to make it 2-0 for the Reds on their first away trip.

Salah’s goal helped him reach a new Premier League milestone, beating the likes of legends like Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney.

Salah makes Premier League history

Salah’s assist and goal against Ipswich meant that the Liverpool star has now scored or assisted in each of his eight Matchday one fixtures in the Premier League.

The 32-year-old Egyptian star has now registered more goals (9) and more goal contributions (14) than any other player in Premier League history.

Despite being under new management, it appears that nothing has changed for Salah, who is expected to again be among the top scorers for the 2024/25 Premier League season.
