Mohamed Salah hits another historic milestone after what he did in final Merseyside derby appearance | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah entered his name into the record books once more, leveling a historic landmark after scoring with an exquisite finish to give Liverpool the lead in the first half against Everton.

On a day filled with emotion at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium, the Egyptian King ensured his final Merseyside derby would be remembered for more than just the three points.

Mo Salah equals Steven Gerrard’s record

Salah began the afternoon just one goal shy of the legendary Steven Gerrard’s Premier League tally in this fixture.

The moment of history arrived in the 30th minute when Cody Gakpo pounced on a loose ball and delivered a perfectly weighted assist.

Salah, showcasing the clinical edge that has defined his tenure at Anfield, slotted home a trademark first-time finish to make it 1-0.

The goal was Salah’s ninth in the Merseyside derby, drawing him level with Gerrard as Liverpool’s joint-top scoring player in the Premier League era of this fixture.

While Everton would later equalise through Beto, Salah’s contribution laid the foundation for Virgil van Dijk’s 101st-minute winner, ensuring the Egyptian signed off with a victory in his final Merseyside derby.

Salah to leave Liverpool etched in the history book of records

With the club recently confirming that Salah will leave at the end of the 2025–26 season, every goal now feels like a final brushstroke on a masterpiece.

Since joining from AS Roma in 2017, the No. 11 has rewritten the standards for modern forwards, tallying 255 goals in over 430 appearances, breaking a ridiculous amount of records, both club and otherwise.

His departure will mark an end of a nine-year chapter that brought two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy to Anfield.

By matching Gerrard’s derby record in his final attempt, Salah further cements his status as one of the greatest to ever wear the red shirt.

As Liverpool continues their fight for a top-five finish, Salah remains the focal point of an era that has seen him shatter nearly every individual record in the club’s modern history.
