Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah continues to break records and leave a mark in both the Reds and Premier League history books.
Wednesday night’s 6-0 win against Leeds United, where he scored a brace, saw him achieve two new milestones.
First, the Egyptian surpassed Didier Drogba for most goal contributions by an African player in Premier League history.
His brace took his total contributions to 160 goals in the top-flight league, one better than Chelsea Drogba.
