Salah Sets Up Liverpool’s Second Goal, Closing in on Assist Record

Mohamed Salah is inching closer to another Premier League record after registering his 18th assist of the 2024/25 season. The Egyptian superstar set up Liverpool’s second goal in their match against Newcastle at Anfield on Wednesday night, teeing up the midfielder to find the back of the net.

Salah’s latest assist makes it 17 for the season, leaving him just three short of the single-season Premier League record. Only a select few players have reached the 18-assist mark in a single campaign, with joint-record holders Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry being the only ones to surpass that total.
