Salah Smashes 'Unbelievable' Liverpool Record as Reds Demolish Aston Villa

Mohamed Salah joined an exclusive group as only the third Liverpool player ever to net 250 goals for the club, achieving this milestone during Saturday's 2-0 victory against Aston Villa.

Following a sluggish beginning to the campaign by his exceptional standards, Salah has now found the net in his previous two Premier League matches and finally had reason to celebrate after nearly two months, as Liverpool broke their streak of four consecutive Premier League losses.

The Reds' triumph was ignited by Salah's opener, who capitalized on a gift-wrapped opportunity courtesy of a wayward pass from Emiliano Martínez. The Egyptian forward pounced on the goalkeeper's error and happily slotted home into the unguarded goal.

This ranked among the simplest finishes of Salah's career and elevated his Liverpool goal count to an impressive 250.

Previously, only Roger Hunt and Ian Rush had achieved this remarkable feat in Liverpool's history.

"Scoring goals for such a prestigious club brings incredible satisfaction - it's something I never take lightly," Salah commented.

"I feel immense pride and joy regarding this accomplishment."

"It's massive," head coach Arne Slot remarked about Salah's recent milestone. "Reaching 250 goals is nearly incomprehensible, especially 250 for a single club. This level of loyalty is rarely witnessed in modern football.

"Beyond his goal, he delivered an excellent all-around display. When we needed to play direct passes, we primarily targeted him and he secured possession while allowing teammates to support. What impressed me was his defensive contribution too. Following his opener, he was assisting Virgil [van Dijk] near the center circle. I appreciated his complete performance this evening. While scoring isn't unusual for him, reaching 250 certainly is extraordinary."
