His latest milestone sees him surpassing some of the league\u2019s iconic marksmen and places him within striking distance of the very top.<\/p>\n<p>Salah now needs 72 more goals to equal Alan Shearer\u2019s record tally of 260. At his current strike rate, that would take him around 116 matches\u2014roughly 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\u2019s legendary mark\u2014especially if Liverpool extend his deal further.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s status as one of the Premier League\u2019s true greats.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Lesotho<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
