In a thrilling and emotional night at Anfield, Liverpool crushed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to officially secure the 2024-25 Premier League title four matches ahead of schedule!
This marks Liverpool’s second league triumph within five years and their 20th top-flight title overall, tying them with Manchester United as the joint-most decorated club in English top-division history.
Salah — The Greatest Contributor to Liverpool’s Triumph
While Liverpool’s magical season was built on collective effort, there is no doubt that the heart and soul of this success was Mohamed Salah.
In the first half of the season, Salah displayed near Ballon d’Or-level dominance, propelling Liverpool to a commanding lead atop the table.
His sheer brilliance laid the foundation for what would eventually become a historic title-winning campaign.
However, entering the second half of the season — particularly during Ramadan — Salah’s form noticeably dipped.
He went six consecutive games without a goal, during which Liverpool crashed out of both the Champions League and the EFL Cup, sparking fears of a total collapse.
Salah’s Ballon d’Or momentum faded, and doubts began to creep in.
Breaking the Drought: Salah’s Redemption Night
Fortunately, on this historic night against Tottenham, Salah finally roared back to life.
Although his goal came when Liverpool had already seized control of the match, it carried massive personal significance — ending a seven-game goal drought and reigniting his confidence and fighting spirit.
After scoring, Salah celebrated passionately! First, embracing his teammates with sheer joy + dropping to one knee and kissing the Anfield turf in a heartfelt tribute.
Finally, Salah rushed over to the Kop stand, grabbed a fan’s phone, and took selfies amid the ecstatic crowd — a moment that will live long in the memory.
A Milestone Goal: The Premier League’s New Foreign Scoring King
This goal wasn’t just emotionally important — it was historically monumental.
With it, Salah reached 185 Premier League goals, surpassing Manchester City legend Sergio Agüero to claim fifth place on the Premier League’s all-time scoring list and becoming the league’s highest-scoring foreign player ever!
The Premier League’s top four goal scorers now are:
- Alan Shearer (260 goals)
2. Harry Kane (213 goals)
3. Wayne Rooney (208 goals)
4. Andy Cole (187 goals)
Given his current form and the fact that Salah is under contract with Liverpool until 2027, he is well-positioned to surpass Andy Cole this season and continue chasing Kane — and even Shearer — in the years ahead.
Four Matches Left: Salah Eyes Historic Records
Although Liverpool have already secured the team’s ultimate prize, Salah’s personal journey is far from over.
He stands on the brink of achieving multiple historic milestones:
- Becoming the first player in Premier League history to record 30 goals and 20 assists in a single season (currently at 28 goals and 18 assists — just two away from each target).
- Challenging the five major European leagues’ single-season assist record (held by Messi and Müller with 21 assists — Salah is just four assists away).
- Securing another Premier League Golden Boot and Playmaker Award double (after first doing so in 2021-22).
- Claiming his fourth Premier League Golden Boot — solidifying his legacy among the competition’s elite.
Currently, Salah leads the Premier League scoring chart by six goals over second-placed Isak and leads the assist chart by seven over Murphy — making his hold on both titles increasingly secure with only four games left.
Full Squad Support: Liverpool Rally Behind Salah’s Historic Quest
It was clear during the Tottenham match that Liverpool’s entire team was determined to help Salah break his drought — and they will no doubt continue to fuel his record-breaking campaign in the final four fixtures.
The mission is now twofold:
Finish the season with four more wins, and etch Salah’s name even deeper into Premier League history.
A Legend Still in the Making
From soaring at the season’s start, to enduring a painful dip in form, to battling back when it mattered most — Salah has once again shown why he is one of the game’s greatest icons.
The Egyptian King is not just rewriting Liverpool history; he is carving out a place among the greatest players in Premier League and world football history.
And the story isn’t over yet, Salah’s legend continues to grow…
