Salah Breaks Henry’s 22-Year Goal Involvement Record

Date:

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has set a new Premier League record for the most goal involvements in a single 38-game season, surpassing the previous record of 44 set by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry during the 2002–2003 campaign.

Salah’s record-breaking feat was confirmed during Liverpool’s recent fixture, where his combined tally of goals and assists for the season reached an unprecedented 45, eclipsing Henry’s long-standing mark of 44.

The Egyptian star’s contributions this season have included 31 goals and 14 assists, solidifying his status as one of the greatest forwards in Premier League history. His remarkable form has played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s title challenge, with the club sitting in strong contention as the season nears its climax.

The previous record by Henry was widely regarded as one of the most complete offensive seasons in league history, but Salah’s latest milestone has added a new chapter to the Premier League’s annals. Henry had scored 24 goals and registered 20 assists in the 2002–03 season — a combined 44 goal involvements.

Salah’s achievement also highlights his consistency since joining Liverpool in 2017, having already claimed multiple Golden Boots and broken the club’s all-time Premier League scoring record.

Speaking after the match, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp hailed Salah as “a relentless professional and a phenomenal talent whose numbers speak for themselves.”

The 32-year-old forward continues to etch his name into the history books, and with several games remaining in the season, the record may yet be extended even further.

Salah’s latest achievement will no doubt spark debates among fans and pundits over his place in the pantheon of Premier League greats — a conversation he increasingly dominates with every game.
