Mohamed Salah sets special milestone, equaling Wayne Rooney's record

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 45+1 minute of injury time before Ryan Gravenberch sealed the 2-0 score with a goal scored in the 58th minute. Notably, the goal against Aston Villa helped Salah enter the club's record book, with his 250th goal for the Anfield team - equaling club icons Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

In addition, the Egyptian striker also set an impressive milestone in the Premier League when he directly participated in 276 goals in the highest league in England (including 188 goals and 88 assists) - equaling the record set by Wayne Rooney for Man Utd.

"Scoring for such a big club is a great feeling, it's something I don't take for granted. I'm very proud and happy about this achievement," Salah shared about his milestone.

It's always great when a striker scores. Salah scored last week, and now he's scored again. I think I've said many times that he'll score again.

"This doesn't surprise me or anyone else. But I really like his performance today," coach Arne Slot praised his favorite student.

A 2-0 win over Aston Villa helped Liverpool return to the top of the Premier League, while also creating momentum ahead of the upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid, which is expected to be very attractive with the presence of former player Trent Alexander-Arnold.
