Just yesterday, Liverpool visited Everton in a heart-stopping duel that ended in a 2-2 draw , all this as the duel that they were missing from the 15th matchday in the Premier League, so, with one more point, the Reds are consolidated at the top of England with 57 points, having seven more than Arsenal and ten more than Nottingham Forest, their closest pursuers. Salah was once again a star once again, just as he has been all this year.

With 14 games left, Liverpool want to say goodbye to their Pharaoh by winning the Premier League , as Mohamed Salah himself mentioned that it would be his last season wearing the Reds shirt. In addition, after the departure of Jurgen Klopp, it was expected that it would be harder for them to compete with City or Arsenal, but Arne Slot has managed to imbue his style of play.

This season has been so monstrous for Mohamed Salah that, at 32 years of age, he is the top scorer with 22 goals , surpassing Erling Haaland (19) or Alexander Isak (17), while he is also consolidating himself as the top assister thanks to the 14 goal passes he has made , leaving Antonee Robinson (10) and Bukayo Saka (10) on the way. Precisely against Everton he scored and assisted.

Now, with the club only mid-February under its belt and 14 games played, Salah is already closing in on the record of Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne, who both had a season with 20 assists, leaving the Pharaoh just six more behind , and given the pace he has shown, it seems only a matter of time before the Liverpool star takes that accolade, which would be even more so during his final season as a Red.
