Mohamed Salah surpasses the top four Premier League scorers and now targets Wayne Rooney s record

Mohamed Salah set another important milestone in his career in England. His penalty against Burnley at Tformore Stadium on Sunday night (September 14, 2025) brought Liverpool a slight victory of 1-0.

Arne Slott's team successfully executed after the white ball penalty, ensuring three-pointers. This moment happened after the referee awarded a penalty for Hannibal Mevry's handball.

This goal not only saved Liverpool's victory, but Salah also successfully entered the ranks of elites in the Premier League's historical scorer list.

For the Egyptian player, the latest record further consolidates his position as a living legend in the league. He is now on par with great people who have long left their names in history.

Salah surpassed Andy Cole to top the scorer list

Salah has scored 188 goals in the Premier League. That number put him beyond Manchester United legend Andy Cole's record.

He is now ranked fourth in the league's history scorer list. Only Wayne Rooney, Harry Kane and Alan Shellar are better than him.

Rooney ranked third with 208 goals, while Kane collected 213 goals. Sheringham still tops the list with 260 goals.

Salah's contract at Liverpool will last until 2027, and he has a chance to get close to the top level. His stability is his greatest capital.

Transfers that changed Liverpool's history

When he came here from Rome, USA in 2017 for 42 million euros, no one thought Salah would become a club legend. However, since his debut, he has become Liverpool's goal machine immediately.

His failure at Chelsea seemed to be erased. At Anfield, he was more mature and productive.

Salah has even surpassed Thierry Henry, Sergio Aguero and Robbie Fowler's record in Premier League history. Now, he has officially locked in the top four in the Premier League.

It is not an exaggeration to call this transfer the best move in Liverpool's history. His transfer fee is now considered very cheap, considering his contribution.

Incomparable to the number of goals, Salah has also set a series of other records in the Premier League. He once held the record of the most goals and assists in 38 games in a single season.

He is also known for his record of Liverpool players with the most goals in consecutive home games. His main opponent is also very clear: Manchester United, who often targets his sharp weapon.

The arrival of new forwards such as Hugo Ekitic and Alexander Isaac did not make his position unstable. Salah remains the key figure in deciding to win a major match.

It is not impossible to create more records with an unfinished contract. Salah's name is almost certain to be remembered forever now in the long history of the Premier League.
