Ever since joining Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has been scoring goals for fun. Before the start of the season, the Egyptian had scored 186 goals in 305 matches. The winger has not stopped his habit to score goals, becoming the first Liverpool player to score 20 goals for seven consecutive seasons. 

So far in 336 matches, spanning 7 seasons, Mohamed Salah has scored 206 goals and assisted 92 times. He has also won the Premier League Golden Boot thrice. Salah’s best goalscoring record came in his debut season, where he scored 44 goals in all competitions.

His 20th goal of the season came against Sparta Praha, in the quarter final of the Europa League. Salah scored in the 10th minute of the game, winning a loose ball and slotting it past the Praha keeper. After the end of the quarter-final, which Liverpool won 11-2 on aggregate, Jurgen Klopp couldn’t stop praising his star winger.

So, I'm less surprised than maybe some others. I thought it had already happened, to be honest, in this season but he was injured for a while and that's why he couldn't do it [earlier]. Otherwise, it would have happened in January or February. So, great, very good and and, as I said, great to have him back.

Klopp also said he was happy with how Salah played the entire 90 minutes. He confirmed that Salah was not supposed to play the entire match, but yet stayed on the pitch. Klopp also informed the winger to not defend. 

Mohamed Salah says Jurgen Klopp’s departure won’t affect his decision to leave 

Jurgen Klopp announced in late January that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. He claimed he didn’t have the energy for his job anymore and was going to take a break. With this news, many expected a few Liverpool players to leave the club, not wanting to stay without Klopp.

Mohamed Salah is one of those player and is linked to Saudi Arabia. But Salah has confirmed if he leaves, it won’t be due to Klopp’s departure. 

No, no. It's life. It's part of life now, everything moves. Players left the club already, very important players left the club. One day I will leave the club, but no.
