Mo Salah overtook Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez with two separate records after Liverpool 6-3 Tottenham
Yesterday at 03:30 PM
Liverpool enjoyed themselves on Sunday, hammering Tottenham Hotspur to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The result means the Reds will sit in first place in the table at Christmas.
For Mohamed Salah, it was another incredible performance. Salah broke an extraordinary Premier League record, becoming the first player ever to record 10 or more goals and assists before Christmas.
The Egyptian bagged two goals and two assists for Liverpool to move clear at the top of both charts this season.
But, as it turns out, these were not the end of the accolades for Salah on Sunday.
Liverpool’s No.11 broke yet another Premier League record as well as bettering former Reds great Luis Suarez in a quite unbelievable statistic.
Mohamed Salah keeps on breaking records
Salah is having himself a season. The 32-year-old was probably disappointed to watch three different Liverpool players score before him by the half-time break.
But Salah came out for the second-half meaning business. Within 16 minutes he’d grabbed himself two goals.
It was not the goals which got Salah his records, however, but the assists.
As per OptaJoe on X, the Egyptian King’s reverse ball to set up Dominik Szoboszlai in the first-half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium meant that Salah has now bagged double figures for goals and assists in six separate Premier League seasons.

Wayne Rooney was the previous record holder – joint with Salah – hitting the same figures in five seasons. Mo now sits ahead.
Salah also bettered an interesting Suarez statistic. As per Michael Reid on X, the winger has hit 10 plus goals and assists in just 16 games.
That is comfortably the quickest time to reach those numbers, with Suarez, the previous holder, having achieved the same feat in 23 matches during the 2013/14 season. Remarkable.
Salah heading to better Suarez season
Suarez’s 2013/14 campaign is well remembered as one of the best in the history of the Premier League.
The Uruguayan almost single-handedly drove the Reds to an unlikely title, scoring 31 times and laying on 13 goals for his teammates.
In the end Suarez could not get Brendan Rodgers’ team over the line, but the legacy of that quite unbelievable season still echoes.
For Salah to now better Suarez comfortably along the way shows just how unbelievable he has been this term.
Hopefully Mo can go one better than Luis and lift the Premier League trophy aloft at Anfield in May.
