Africa-Press – Lesotho. Mohamed Salah etched his name even deeper into Premier League history with his dramatic 95th-minute penalty against Burnley, a strike that not only preserved Liverpool’s flawless start to the season but also lifted him into outright fourth place on the league’s all-time scoring chart.
The Egyptian forward now boasts 188 Premier League goals in just over 305 appearances, an extraordinary return that translates to a goals-per-game ratio of 0.62—among the best in the competition’s history. His latest milestone sees him surpassing some of the league’s iconic marksmen and places him within striking distance of the very top.
Salah now needs 72 more goals to equal Alan Shearer’s record tally of 260. At his current strike rate, that would take him around 116 matches—roughly three full seasons of consistent football. With a contract running until 2027 and still playing at the highest level at age 33, Salah has a realistic pathway to challenge, and potentially surpass, Shearer’s legendary mark—especially if Liverpool extend his deal further.
For Liverpool fans, his late winner against Burnley will be remembered not only for the three points it secured, but also for the way it underlined Salah’s status as one of the Premier League’s true greats.
