At training on tuesday, the liverpool squad gathered to celebrate mohamed salah’s 200 goals for the club. Salah reached the milestone on saturday when he scored the equalizer in the reds’ 2-1 comeback victory over crystal palace, marking his 150th appearance in the premier league.
The 31-year-old egyptian has scored a double century for the club, becoming only the fifth player to reach this mark after ian rush, roger hunt, gordon hodgson, and billy liddell. Only hodgson (a goal every 1.56 games) has a higher games-to-go ratio than salah on liverpool’s list of top scorers. Klopp joked, “we’ve had this shirt with us for two weeks now, and we’ll finally give it to him.” “to be 100% honest, it was pretty much the right time to score it. “amazing number for a super special, super-special player. I don’t know how often he saved us with a goal he scored in the right moment. “when i gave him the shirt with the 200 on the back, it was a pretty loud reception in the dressing room,” he said. “the players were asking for a speech, but you’ll have to ask him if he gave one, because i had to go for media work then, so i don’t know.”
