Mohamed Salah has overtaken Frank Lampard to become the sixth-highest goalscorer in Premier League history with 178 goals. His brace in Liverpool 2-0 win over Bournemouth extended their league lead to nine points. Salah, now chasing Sergio Aguero 184-goal record, has netted 21 goals this season, leading the Golden Boot race ahead of Erling Haaland.
For the 2024-25 Premier League season, Mohamed Salah has climbed to sixth place in the league's all-time top scorer list, surpassing Frank Lampard with 178 goals. Salah netted twice in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Bournemouth, extending the Reds’ lead at the top of the table to nine points. The Egyptian forward is now just six goals behind Sergio Agüero, the Premier League's highest-scoring overseas player.
Starting the season in 11th place with 157 goals, Salah has overtaken legends like Jermain Defoe (162), Robbie Fowler (163), Thierry Henry (175), and Lampard (177). At his current scoring rate, he is on track to surpass Agüero and Andrew Cole to enter the top four by season’s end. Salah has scored 21 league goals in 23 matches this season, three ahead of Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race.
With 301 career goals across European clubs—including 236 for Liverpool—Salah has now reached 20+ Premier League goals in five different seasons. His future remains uncertain, as his Liverpool contract expires this summer, making it unlikely he will challenge records held by Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213), and all-time leader Alan Shearer (260) unless he extends his stay at Anfield.
