Mohamed Salah’s five greatest Liverpool goals ahead of emotional Anfield farewell

Mohamed Salah , a figure synonymous with Liverpool ’s golden era, is poised to play his final game at Anfield this Sunday, drawing a close to an extraordinary, trophy-laden chapter. The Egypt international’s departure marks the end of a period where he cemented his status as one of the Premier League ’s most formidable forwards. His prolificacy is etched into the league’s history books; Salah stands as the Premier League’s fourth-highest goalscorer of all time with 193 goals, a tally surpassed only by Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Wayne Rooney.

His consistent brilliance is further underscored by a record-equalling four Premier League Golden Boots, a feat he shares with Thierry Henry. Across all competitions, Salah has netted an astonishing 257 goals in 441 appearances for the Reds. As the curtain prepares to fall on his remarkable tenure, we revisit five of his most memorable strikes that encapsulate his genius and enduring impact.

Receiving the ball with his back to goal just outside the penalty area, Salah masterfully held off and turned Joao Cancelo, before dragging it past Bernardo Silva, leaving the midfielder on his backside. He then feigned to cut inside before checking back to wrong-foot Aymeric Laporte, finally drilling a rare right-footed finish across Ederson, off the far post and in.

Two further touches – one with the outside of his left foot, the other with his right – saw him glide past Emerson to create space. With Jorginho closing him down, he unleashed an arrow-straight left-footed strike into the top corner from 25 yards.
