👑 Salah breaks Rooney's Premier League record on comeback | OneFootball

What hasn’t been written about Mohamed Salah in the past few days? 

After controversial statements about coach Arne Slot, the Egyptian was dropped from the Champions League squad during the week. He was also heavily criticized by former Liverpool legends such as Jamie Carragher.

But Salah delivered the perfect response on the pitch. Against Brighton, he returned to the squad, was substituted in after 26 minutes for the injured Joe Gomez, and later set up the 2-0 goal by Hugo Ekitike.

Salah’s impressive return also meant a Premier League record: the most goal involvements for a single club.

The superstar recorded his 277th league goal involvement in a Reds shirt, surpassing none other than Wayne Rooney. While at Manchester United, the former striker once collected 276 goal involvements.

Now that’s how you celebrate a comeback game, isn’t it?
