Mohamed Salah finished his stellar 2017/18 Premier League campaign on a high, scoring his 32nd goal and breaking an all-time record jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Salah scored the second goal in his side’s 4-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday, taking his tally to 32 for the season.
Name | Club | Goal |
Harry Kane | (Tottenham Hotspur, 2017/18) | 30 goals |
Robin Van Persie | (Arsenal, 2011/12) | 30 goals |
Thierry Henry | (Arsenal, 2003/04) | 30 goals |
Kevin Phillips | (Sunderland, 1999/2000) | 30 goals |
Alan Shearer | ( Blackburn Rovers, 1995/96) | 31 goals |
Lui Suarez | (Liverpool, 2013/14) | 31 goals |
Cristiano Ronaldo | (Manchester United, 2007/08) | 31 goals |
Mohamed Salah | (Liverpool, 2017/18) | 32 goals |
In doing so, he broke the record for most goals during a 38-game Premier League campaign, set by Alan Shearer with Blackburn Rovers in 1995/96, and since equaled by Ronaldo at Manchester United in 2007/08 and Luis Suarez at Liverpool in 2013/14.
The Liverpool winger became only the second African to lift the Premier League golden boot, following in the footsteps of Didier Drogba, who won it twice with Chelsea in 2006/07 (20 goals) and 2009/10 (29 goals).
Harry Kane, meanwhile, wrote his name into Tottenham Hotspur’s record books, becoming the first player in the club’s history to finish the season with 30 Premier League goals after scoring a brace in Spur’s 5-4 against Leicester.
