The pharaoh is in cannonball mode. If Liverpool ended up breaking its teeth on Sunday against its neighbor Manchester United, the Red Devils managing to snatch a draw (2-2) at the end of the match, Mohamed Salah once again made the powder speak by scoring his 18th goal of the season, on penalty. A pawn which allows him to equal the record of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, author of 175 goals in the Premier League.
The Egyptian, simply dazzling since the start of the season with the Reds, now has Frank Lampard (177 goals) in his sights. If he continues like this, Mo Salah even has a chance of joining the top 5 of the best scorers in the history of the PL (created in 1992) and stealing the place of Sergio Agüero, author of 184 goals in the championship English.

It remains to be seen whether Salah will leave Liverpool and the Premier League at the end of the season, at the end of his contract, as he announced a few days ago. In which case, it will be difficult for him to do better than fourth place, still held by former Mancunian Andy Cole (187 goals). Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213) and Alan Shearer (260) appear too far ahead to be overtaken by the end of the season.
