Mohamed Salah etched his name further into Premier League history on February 1, 2025, as he surpassed Frank Lampard to become the 6th all-time top scorer in the league’s history. The Egyptian winger achieved this remarkable feat by scoring a brace in Liverpool’s dominant 3-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth at Anfield.
Salah, who has been one of the Premier League’s most consistent and prolific players since joining Liverpool in 2017, now has 211 Premier League goals to his name, moving ahead of Frank Lampard, who scored 211 goals during his illustrious career with Chelsea. Salah’s goals against Bournemouth—one in the first half and another in the second—were a testament to his poise, skill, and clinical finishing ability.
The first goal came in the 22nd minute, where Salah calmly slotted the ball past Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto after a brilliant pass from Liverpool’s midfield. His second came just after the hour mark, as he received a well-timed ball from Andrew Robertson and finished with precision into the bottom corner, doubling Liverpool’s advantage and securing the three points.
The brace also contributed to Liverpool’s relentless push for a top-four finish, keeping them in the race for Champions League qualification. While Salah’s goal-scoring exploits have often been the headline, his all-around contributions—providing assists, creating chances, and tracking back defensively—have been equally important to the team’s success.
The 31-year-old winger’s achievement has also sparked conversations about his place among the Premier League’s greatest ever players. With more goals on the horizon, Salah could soon challenge for a spot in the top five all-time scorers, a milestone that would further solidify his legacy as one of the most lethal forwards the league has ever seen.
Liverpool fans celebrated the historic moment at Anfield, chanting Salah’s name, and acknowledging his growing importance to the club. The Egyptian forward’s relentless work ethic and desire to succeed have made him a fan favorite and a key figure in Liverpool’s recent resurgence under manager Jürgen Klopp.
As Salah continues to climb the all-time Premier League goal-scoring charts, the Egyptian star shows no signs of slowing down, promising more memorable moments for both Liverpool and the Premier League at large.
