Mohamed Salah Broke Yet Another Premier League Record in Liverpool’s Win Over West Ham United

In a league where numbers often flatter to deceive, Mohamed Salah’s latest milestone is one that requires no caveats. With a crisp assist for Luis Díaz during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over West Ham United at Anfield, Salah reached an unprecedented 45 goal involvements this Premier League season — 27 goals and 18 assists — the most ever recorded in a standard 38-game campaign.
It’s a figure that doesn’t just place him atop the charts, but also redefines the boundaries of what is possible in England’s top flight. Not since Kevin De Bruyne’s masterful 20-assist haul in the 2019-20 season has anyone come close to Salah’s current creative output. Yet what sets Salah apart is not merely the numbers, but the consistency and decisiveness of his contributions.
There’s a sense that Salah’s influence at Liverpool is no longer up for debate — if it ever truly was. Week in, week out, he delivers. Whether drifting inside to finish from improbable angles or carving open defences with vision and precision, the Egyptian international remains the side’s most potent threat.

For new manager Arne Slot, who stepped in following Jürgen Klopp’s departure last May, Salah has been a constant in a season of transition. In a squad adapting to subtle tactical shifts and the fresh dynamics of leadership, Salah has not merely adapted — he has thrived.
The forward’s enduring value lies in his ability to turn tight games in Liverpool’s favour, like he did again on Sunday. His assist to Díaz wasn’t just another statistic — it was a moment that set the tone for a vital Premier League win.
If there were still any lingering questions about Salah’s place in Premier League history, this latest record answers them. The modern game may be full of short-term narratives, but Salah’s achievements demand longevity in memory.
To score 27 goals in a single league season is noteworthy in itself. To add 18 assists on top of that speaks to a player whose game has evolved — who has refined his intelligence and efficiency to devastating effect.
Beyond the records and stats, Salah’s performances this season reflect a player operating at the peak of his powers. He has become both finisher and creator, a hybrid of clinical forward and visionary playmaker. “The assist for Luis Diaz’s opening strike” was just the latest example of his all-encompassing game.
At 32, Salah is showing no signs of decline. Instead, he continues to be the heartbeat of Liverpool’s Premier League ambitions — a player rewriting records and redefining what elite performance looks like in English football.
