Mohamed Salah goals against Brentford see him smash records, create history and join elite club with Arsenal icon Thierry Henry

Another week, another set of feats accomplished by record-breaking Liverpool star Mohamed Salah.

His double in a 3-0 win not only saw Brentford off, it saw him write history and join a very special club.

His opener in the first half came from a Darwin Nunez pass, keeping up the Uruguayan’s very intriguing habit.

The 24-year-old has managed seven Premier League assists for the Reds but, incredibly, they have all been for Salah.

Salah’s strike itself saw history made.

By tucking the ball home he became the first player to score in each of Liverpool’s first six home league games of a season.

When he added the second with a header in the second half more milestones were reached.

Salah has now been directly involved in 119 goals in 117 appearances for Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League (87 goals, 32 assists).

Not impressed?

How about the fact it was his 200th goal in English football – and that’s despite his tough start when he was at Chelsea.

And just for the icing on the cake – which we imagine Salah avoids given his stunning physique – Salsh is now part of an elite Premier League club.

Only the Egyptian, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, and Alan Shearer have made a goal contribution in 15 consecutive Premier League home games.

Not bad for a casual afternoon in a 3-0 win over Brentford.

Even Bees boss Thomas Frank was singing his praises after the game, claiming he deserves more credit.

Frank said: “Mo Salah… Klopp praises him a lot but I don’t know if gets enough praise. I think off the top of my head he is potentially the best player in the Premier League. In terms of goals and assists.

“What a level. Must be one of the best offensive players in the world – like not top 10, top three, sitting here on the spot.”

Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes that Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah actually deserves more praise.

Mohamed Salah should be praised more with the Liverpool forward simply one of the best attackers in the world.

That is the verdict of Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who has been quoted by the Liverpool Echo.

Liverpool beat Brentford 3-0 on Sunday afternoon with Salah scoring twice before Diogo Jota wrapped up the win.

Liverpool now sit second in the Premier League table, just one point behind league leaders Manchester City.

Thomas Frank hails Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah

Salah was in red-hot form once again, taking his tally or the season to 10 goals and four assists in 12 Premier League games.

The 31-year-old has been simply sensational this season and Brentford boss Frank has now offered his view.

Frank has suggested that, whilst Salah gets praised a lot, he actually deserves even more adulation.

Frank feels that Salah is the best player in the Premier League is at a simply ridiculous level in terms of his goals and assists.

The Dane added that Salah is one of the top three attacking players in world football, praising his ability in the final third.

“Mo Salah gets praised a lot but I don’t know if he gets enough praise,” said Frank. “I think now off the top of my head, he is the best player in the Premier League, potentially.

In terms of goals and assists, what a level. He must be one of the top offensive players in the world. Not like top 10 but top three.”

“What he has done and when you have a player of that quality you just know that it is a problem.

Also the second goal he cannot avoid to score because we are not doing enough defensively but the first one is a clear signature Liverpool attack.

We lose it, counter-attack, bang, into Salah and it is a goal. But it is not always a goal for everyone in that situation, that is just the quality of the player and Liverpool’s quality,” he added.

Liverpool fans will hope this isn’t Salah’s final season

 

Salah’s future at Liverpool remains in doubt amid interest from Saudi Arabia.

Al Ittihad wanted to sign Salah in September with Liverpool rejecting a staggering £150million offer for the Egyptian.

The Saudi Arabian side – who have just sacked Nuno Espirito Santo – are expected to return with a new offer in 2024.

Liverpool will be torn; Salah clearly isn’t slowing down but over £100million for player in his 30’s will be appealing.

Salah cost Liverpool £34million in 2017 but could head to the Middle East for much, much more.

Liverpool fans adore Salah and are seeing him drive renewed Premier League title hopes this season, so an exit in 2024 – surely in the summer rather than January – would be tough to swallow.

Reds supporters may need to enjoy Salah whilst he’s still at Anfield, all whilst hoping that he is still a Liverpool player come next season.
