Salah Reaches 250 Goals for Liverpool – A Historic Milestone
The win was not only about the three points — it marked a historic night for Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian superstar scored his 250th goal for Liverpool, joining club legends Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in the record books.
Salah’s goal came after a mistake by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, leaving an open net for the forward to slot home easily.
“It’s almost unbelievable to score 250 goals for one club,” said Slot. “He worked hard in attack and defense — it was a complete performance.”
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has helped the club win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and more. While this season started slow for him, this performance showed glimpses of his old form — something Liverpool will need in upcoming games against Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Salah: “We’re Back on Track”
Speaking to TNT Sports, Salah admitted it has been a tough few weeks:
“We’ve had a few losses in the Premier League and Champions League. I’m happy we’re back on track now. We have new players who are still adapting, but everything will be fine.”
He added that scoring for such a big club still feels “special” and something he “doesn’t take for granted.”
Van Dijk: Liverpool Ignoring ‘Ridiculous’ Criticism
Captain Virgil van Dijk, who led a solid defense that earned Liverpool their first clean sheet since September, hit back at critics:
“There’s a lot of noise we can’t control. Some of the criticism is ridiculous. We just focus on working hard and sticking together.”
He reminded fans that one bad spell doesn’t define a season, saying the team is focused on regaining belief and momentum.
Alan Shearer: “Step in the Right Direction”
Premier League legend Alan Shearer praised Liverpool’s performance on Match of the Day:“It wasn’t perfect, but it was a lot better. They had to win, and they deserved it. This could be the start of their return to form.”
As fans sang Bob Marley’s “Don’t Worry About a Thing”, Anfield once again felt alive — a reminder of what makes Liverpool special.
With crucial matches ahead, Arne Slot’s Liverpool seem to have found their spark again — and with Salah firing, optimism is back on Merseyside.
