Mohamed Misrecorded Again, Liverpool Are Sure You Don't Want To Extend Your Contract?
JAKARTA - If this is Mohamed Salah's last season at Liverpool, he will end the season brilliantly.
The Egypt forward scored two goals and made two assists in Liverpool's 6-3 victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, December 22, 2024, WIB night.
He became the first player to hit double-digit and assists before Christmas in a Premier League season.
"I didn't think about it before the game, to be honest. However, it was something that made me happy and proud. I kept working hard," Salah said after the game.
Now, Salah has scored 15 goals and 11 assists in this season's league campaign, more than anyone else. Manchester City's Erling Haaland is his closest competitor to 13 goals.
Salah has won the Golden Boot for the top scorer in the Premier League three times, for himself in 2017/2018, and shared titles in 2018/2019 (with Aubameyang and Sadio Mane) and 2021/2022 (with Son Heung-min).

With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, Salah's new record clearly leads to questions regarding his future at Anfield.
"No (there is the latest development regarding the contract)," he said briefly.
Mohamed Salah previously equaled Wayne Rooney's record by scoring goals and assists in one league game 36 times.
Not to mention the impressive statistics of Mo Salah at Old Trafford. Donating one goal in the win against Manchester United in September 2024 made him set a new record.
The attacker is the only player outside the Red Devils who scored a lot of goals in the Theater of Dreams.
At that time, his Old Trafford collection of goals totaled 10 on his last seven visits.
In fact, Mo Salah is in fifth place if he is included in the list of goalscorers at Old Trafford.
He only lost to Marcus Rashford (31 goals), Bruno Fernandes (29 goals), Cristiano Ronaldo (17 goals), and Scot McTominay (13) who incidentally played Manchester United.
