Salah leads the Premier League Golden Boot race by six goals from City’s reigning two-time winner Erling Haaland, who missed Sunday’s game due to injury, and Alexander Isak, who scored twice for Newcastle against Nottingham Forest to join Haaland on 19 goals.
He won the Golden Boot with 32 league goals in his first season with Liverpool in 2017-18, scored 23 in 2021-22, had two 22-goal seasons and two of 19 – last season’s 18 was his lowest total.
He also has three Champions League goals and four assists, with another two goals and an assist in the Carabao Cup to make it a combined 51 goals and assists in all competitions.
He stands sixth in the Premier League record scorers list with 182 and has the chance this season to climb a further two places, just two goals behind former City striker Sergio Aguero, with Andy Cole fourth on 187.
Mohamed Salah hit the 25-goal mark in the Premier League for the first time since his debut Liverpool season and reached 30 in all competitions with Sunday’s strike against Manchester City.
