Premier League: Salah Breaks Lampard and Rooney Record in Liverpool’s Win Over Ipswich
Mohamed Salah continued to solidify his legacy in the Premier League with another remarkable performance in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Ipswich on the opening day of the 2024/25 season.
The Egyptian star played a pivotal role in the win, providing an assist for Diogo Jota’s opening goal in the 60th minute and then finding the back of the net himself just five minutes later. Salah’s goal not only secured Liverpool’s first win of the season but also allowed him to surpass Premier League legends Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney by setting a new record.
Salah has now either scored or assisted in all eight of his Matchday one fixtures since joining the Premier League, a feat unmatched by any other player in the league’s history. His consistency on the first day of each season highlights his importance to Liverpool and his status as one of the league’s all-time greats.
This latest achievement adds another chapter to Salah’s already illustrious career, as he continues to break records and set new benchmarks in English football.
