Salah breaks Premier League record against Man United

Mohamed Salah has written his name in the history books once again following Liverpool’s comfortable 4-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League on Tuesday night.

The Egyptian scored two goals either side of half time to help Jurgen Klopp’s men cruise to victory over the Red Devils at Anfield.

Salah also had plenty of joy in front of goal in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, where he scored a memorable hat-trick in the 5-0 win in October last year.

The 29-year-old’s success against United has now seen him break a Premier League record, as he has become the first player to score five league goals against the Red Devils in the same season.

Salah has now taken his 2021-22 goalscoring tally to 30 across all competitions and has also leapfrogged Romelu Lukaku into the top 20 all-time Premier League goalscorers.

Goals from Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane also helped Liverpool to victory on Tuesday, and they have now climbed above Manchester City to the top of the table, sitting two points clear having played a game more.
