Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah made Premier League history on Sunday with a record-breaking assist in his final Liverpool appearance. The milestone pass brought his tally to 93 assists, surpassing former club great Steven Gerrard’s long-standing record.

In an emotional farewell at Anfield, Salah delivered a decisive through ball to Curtis Jones during the 38th and final matchday encounter against Brentford (1-1). This assist pushed his Premier League assist count to 93, overtaking Gerrard’s previous benchmark of 92.

At 33 years old, Salah concluded his Liverpool journey after 442 competitive appearances. Across all competitions, he leaves the club with 123 assists to his name. His scoring prowess remains equally impressive, with 53 goals in European competitions making him Liverpool’s all-time top scorer in continental tournaments.

The record-breaking contribution came on the same day Liverpool secured a Champions League spot for next season, adding another layer of significance to Salah’s milestone.

From record-breaker to club legend

Salah’s achievements extend beyond assists. His 123 goal contributions in 442 matches underscore his status as one of Liverpool’s most influential players. The Egyptian’s impact will be remembered alongside his Premier League Golden Boot wins and pivotal Champions League moments.

As Liverpool transitions to a new era, Salah’s departure marks the end of an era while setting a new standard for future Reds players.
