Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has cemented his place as one of the club’s all-time greats. With over 200 goals for the Reds, he has been instrumental in their recent success, including winning the Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League in 2020.
Salah’s ability to score from almost any situation has made him a nightmare for defenders and a favourite with fans, including the 64 million Instagram followers who make him one of the most popular players on the planet. Here, we highlight some of his most memorable goals for Liverpool, showcasing his exceptional talent and importance to the team.
Vs Roma, 2017
This goal needs no introduction. It’s etched in the minds of every Liverpool supporter. Picking up the ball deep in his own half against Roma in the Champions League semi-final, Salah weaved his magic. He danced past helpless defenders, leaving them grasping at straws, before coolly slotting the ball past the despairing goalkeeper. It was a solo masterpiece, a display of pure skill and audacity that deservedly won the prestigious Puskas Award for the world’s most beautiful goal that year.
Vs Tottenham, 2018
This strike cemented Salah’s status as a Premier League legend. The Egypt international received the ball on the right flank, then unleashed his signature burst of pace, leaving Kieran Trippier for dead before unleashing a thunderous left-footed curler that nestled into the top corner. The sheer power and precision were breathtaking, a goal that announced Salah’s arrival on the biggest stage.
Vs Manchester United, 2020
There’s nothing quite like silencing a rival crowd, and that’s exactly what Salah did at Old Trafford in 2020, scoring the kind of goal that inspires people to put his name on their shirts. Latching onto a perfectly weighted pass from Jordan Henderson, Salah raced clear of the United defence. He kept his cool, slotted the ball past David de Gea and celebrated with a now-iconic shushing gesture towards the stunned United faithful. A goal that not only secured victory but also underlined Liverpool’s dominance at the peak of the Jurgen Klopp era.
Vs Southampton, 2017
Not all of Salah’s brilliance comes from blistering pace and powerful finishes; this goal showcased his sublime first touch. Receiving a long ball from deep, Salah controlled it with his chest, sending the defender sprawling, before delicately chipping the ball over the advancing goalkeeper. It was a moment of pure class that demonstrated his technical mastery and composure.
Vs Norwich City, 2023
Every great player deserves a moment to etch their name into the history books. Salah achieved that against Norwich City in 2023, scoring his 160th Premier League goal for Liverpool to break the club’s all-time scoring record. It wasn’t the flashiest strike, a composed finish from close range, but the significance was undeniable. It’s a moment from a true Reds hero that will be remembered forever.
