The Egyptian footballer, Mohamed Salah, is the fifth player in Liverpool's history to reach 200 goals.

Salah is unstoppable in Premier. The 11, already a legend of Liverpool and the Premier, scored a goal against The Eagles, reaching 11 in 16 games and is only behind Erling Haaland, who is the player with the most goals in the current league.

Added to this great presence in the Premier, Salah scored one more goal that allowed him to advance in the table of historical scorers in the Premier League, a competition that has Alan Shearer as the dominator of said statistic with 260 goals. Mohamed Salah reached the 150-goal mark and is now in 10th place among all-time scorers, equaling Michael Owen, another all-timer in this competition.


The Egyptian's next step will be to climb among the top five scorers. To achieve that, Mohamed will have to reach 184 and thus catch up with Sergio Agüero. Added to this, Mo's score against Crystal Palace meant his 200th goal for Liverpool, a mark that only four other players could match for the Reds, Billy Liddell, Gordon Hodgson, Roger Hunt and Ian Rush.


Liverpool leads Arsenal by one point. The Gunners could regain top spot in the league later when they host third-placed Aston Villa. Salah tied the score with a deflected shot in the 76th minute, after Palace had been reduced to 10 men a minute earlier with the sending off of Jordan Ayew.

The goal achieved


The home team opened the scoring with a penalty from Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 57th minute after a foul by Jarell Quansah. But the game changed when Ayew received his second yellow. Liverpool quickly capitalized and Salah fired the symbolic goal to become the fifth player in the team's history to reach 200 goals.
