Returning to score after five games, Salah is Liverpool’s leader in goal appearances in the English

Liverpool won the derby against Everton on Monday, 2-0. In addition to ending a drought of four matches without a win in the English Championship, the team had top scorer Mohamed Salah returning to score. The Egyptian was the scorer of the first goal of the confrontation and, with that, became the leader in direct participations in goals of the Reds in the current national season.

In addition, the number 11 ends a sequence of five games without scoring and is isolated as the team’s top scorer in the competition. In all, there are eight goals scored, in addition to four assists, in 21 engagements. Therefore, he accumulates 12 goal contributions.

Salah also adds 37 passes to finalizations and, with an approximate average of 1.8, is the player with the highest rate within the Liverpool squad.

Liverpool and Salah in seasons below

Despite this, the striker, who has already won the English Premier League three times in his career, still has numbers below the already presented. By way of comparison, last season, when he was the tournament’s top scorer, he added three times as many direct participations to goals (36).

In addition, he appears in tenth on the list of most contributions to goals in the current Premier League. Behind Haaland (29), Kane (18), Ivan Toney (17), Rashford (15), Saka (15), Maddison (14), De Bruyne (14), Odegaard (13) and Mitrovic (12).

In an unstable season, Liverpool appears in ninth place in the competition, with 32 points gained – nine behind G4, the Champions League classification zone. The team coached by Jurgen Klopp returns to the field precisely against fourth-placed Newcastle, at 2:30 pm (Brasília time) next Saturday, for the 24th round, away from home, at St. James Park.

Finally, the following week, the English team receives Real Madrid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League. The ball rolls on Tuesday (21), from 5 pm, at Anfield.
