How Mohamed Salah became one of the GREATEST goalscorers of a generation | Moments of Magic

Mohamed Salah. The boy from the Grig turned Egyptian King and now officially Premier League royalty. 150 Premier League goals. From long-range worldies to individual masterpieces. Salah has lit the league alight with Liverpool. Unstoppable, irrepressible and infectious. Mo Salah. Goal machine. Brace for Salah. And it reaches Mo Salah. And you just know what happens next. Played as far as Salah. A supply player right on top of his game. From the man who can do no wrong in front of goal for Liverpool. Here's Salah with a chance. The man is extraordinary. The hottest property in the Premier League right now. Now I'm here and I'm very happy to be here and I would like to win something with the club for, you know, everyone knows the club is very big and supporter and fans. So we have to do something for the fans and we have to win something. Salah, or the Egyptian King as he's affectionately known, arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2017. But not to the fanfare you may think. Whilst his performances for Roma and Serie A were highly impressive, it was his early days as a youngster at Chelsea that prompted some to question how he would fit into a new look Liverpool. Salah had only made 13 Premier League appearances for Chelsea. Not enough to leave a mark perhaps, but enough to showcase glimpses of his true potential. And Salah is onside here. What a start. Half a dozen reasons to believe Chelsea can be champions. That's classic Mohamed Salah as well. Onside when it's played. And he's still got a lot to do here. He's got to compose himself, pick a spot. And he does that expertly. Salah's first goal for Liverpool came on debut against Watford in 2017. And he hasn't stopped scoring ever since. And found Salah. And Salah drills it in to win the game for Liverpool. This wonder strike against local rivals Everton was awarded the 2018 FIFA Quizcast Award, the first Liverpool player to achieve the feat. Rushing off. Martina. Salah. Tight games. It's often a mistake or a moment of magic that win you it. Well, this is a moment of magic from Mo Salah. Beats one, beats two. Faced up with Ashley Williams. He uses it to curl it into that far corner. He became the first player in history to win three Player of the Month awards in the same season. Ronald to Salah. Oh, they're asking. Salah goes on though. And still. And scores. And may well have won it for Liverpool. And scored his first hat-trick for the club against Watford in March 2018. Wonderful ball for Robertson. Who delivers for Salah. And it's two. Now Salah. Yellow shirts around him. But he's improvised brilliantly. The first Egyptian player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League. Hings with the effort. Back for Salah. And that's four. This would be the first of four Premier League hat-tricks. The most famous of which came at Old Trafford. The first ever hat-trick by a visiting player. Three goals. Five-nil win. History. Shot is one way. Salah's the other. He's on an Old Trafford hat-trick here. Mo Salah. And he catches the moment. The man is extraordinary. On the final day, he scored his 32nd goal. Breaking the record for most goals in the 38-game Premier League season. Meaning he also comfortably won the Golden Boot. Dominic Solanke. Mo Salah. It's a new record. The most goals ever in a 38-game Premier League season. In just his 61st game for the club, Salah reached the 50-goal landmark. Becoming the fastest Liverpool player to reach that feat. Liverpool went into the game against Manchester United in January 2020, knowing a win would put them 16 points clear at the top of the table and on course to end their 30-year wait for a top-flight trophy. Salah showed his strength and pace in the final minutes to put the game to bed. Liverpool finally believed. Salah to settle it. In front of the Kop. There's no feeling like that feeling. He wins it for Liverpool where he wanted to win it. Salah's 19 goals and 10 assists were a huge part in helping the Merseyside club end their long wait for league silverware. And it should be one, and it is. Mo Salah. Salah. Getting the better of David Luiz. Plenty of room between him and goal. But he still finds that bottom corner with aplomb. The never-to-be-forgotten year of 2020. The champions of England, again at last, are Liverpool. The 100 club. Salah became the fastest player in Liverpool history and the fifth of all time to reach three figures in the Premier League. It took him just 151 matches. Another match against Manchester United. Another record broken. To win 7-0 against your rivals is one thing. To secure another of your 38 Man of the Match awards is another. But to become the record Premier League goalscorer for Liverpool, that's history. Salah. It is six. And now he's entered a very exclusive list of players with 150 goals in the league. Landmark goal. What a time to score it. He's only the second non-European to enter that club, after Kun Aguero. And now he keeps company with the likes of Shearer, Rooney, Kane and Henry. One of the very best goalscorers of this generation. Salah. Great chance. He doesn't miss. From a boy with a dream to a footballing legend. Mohamed Salah.
