Salah closes in on Premier League assist record against Newcastle | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah is closing in on another Premier League record after notching his 18th assist of the 2024/25 campaign.

Salah set up Liverpool’s second goal in their clash with Newcastle at Anfield on Wednesday night, teeing up the midfielder to smash home. The Egyptian’s assist made it 17 for the season with Salah now just three short of the single-season Premier League record.

On just six occasions previously has a player reached 18 assists in a single campaign, while only joint-record holders Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry have managed more than that.

Salah is also the leading scorer in the Premier League this season and now has 42 goals and assists in 2024/25. The record for goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League season (44) will surely be beaten.

Ange Postecoglou might not take much notice of assist stats, but we’re pretty confident Arne Slot will be happy with Salah’s ever-swelling tally.

The Egyptian King is unstoppable right now.
