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.

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.
