In doing so, Salah drew level with former Manchester United legend <b>Andy Cole<\/b>, moving into joint-fourth place on the competition\u2019s all-time scoring chart.<\/p>\n<p>But Salah\u2019s strike carried far greater weight than just three points. He became the <b>first player in Premier League history to reach 10 goals on opening weekends<\/b>, surpassing icons such as Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney (all 8 goals each). For Liverpool, he also extended his record as the club\u2019s leading scorer in season openers, sitting well clear of Michael Owen (5), Robbie Fowler (4), and Sadio Mane\u0301 (4).<\/p>\n<p>At Anfield, Salah\u2019s numbers are just as staggering. His goal against Bournemouth was his <b>106th at the stadium<\/b>, equalling Sergio Agu\u0308ero\u2019s record for most goals scored at a single Premier League ground. He now stands just eight shy of <b>Thierry Henry\u2019s historic 114 at Highbury<\/b>, with history beckoning once again.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool celebrated the moment across their official channels, hailing their talisman with the post:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMohamed Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score 10 goals in the opening matchday&#8230; The Egyptian King continues to make history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Salah is now within touching distance of another unprecedented landmark.
