England has a new king.
This Sunday, Liverpool won overwhelmingly on Tottenham's pitch with a score of six goals to three. Given his brilliant form since the start of the season, Mohamed Salah inevitably participated in the offensive carnage. With his two goals and two assists, the Egyptian striker becomes the first player in Premier League history to sign before Christmas a “ double double »that is to say to score at least 10 goals and 10 assists.
The big Norwegian in the closet
The earliest “double-double” so far was held by a certain Cesc Fabregas, during the 2009-2010 season, who obtained this distinction on January 17when he had 10 goals and 12 assists. As of December 22, after only 16 days of championship, Salah already has 15 goals and 11 assists. He is logically the best scorer and passer in the English competition for the moment, in front of a certain Erling Haalandstruggling with his club's poor form.
At a press conference, the Pharaoh declared: “ I hadn't thought about it before the match, to be honest. But it's something that makes me happy and proud. I'll just keep working hard “. During the same evening, by scoring his 229th goal, he overtook Billy Liddell (228 goals) in the ranking of the club's top scorers, and sits comfortably in 4th place.
With Mo Salah, we are clearly not on hard discount.
