Mo Salah Becomes Liverpool's Outright Leading Scorer In Premier League History
Mo Salah bagged a brace in Liverpool's sensational 7-0 win over Manchester United to break a club record for most goals scored in the Premier League.
Salah had started the game one goal behind Anfield legend Robbie Fowler, who scored 128 times in 266 EPL appearances for the Reds between 1993 and 2007.
The Egyptian King drew level with Fowler when he scored Liverpool's fourth goal of a remarkable game.
Salah then scored the 129th Premier League goal of his Liverpool career to make it 6-0.

The 30-year-old celebrated by removing his shirt - a decision that earned him a yellow card.
Salah's 129 goals have come in 205 EPL games.
Seven of those 129 goals have been headers, 20 have come from his right foot and 102 have been scored with his left.
