Mohamed Salah became the first player in Liverpool’s history to score goals in 9 consecutive matches, two of them in the same match, as he opened the scoring in the eighth minute, and also concluded the match with a penalty kick, according to the British newspaper, The Independent.
The “Pharaoh” also broke Steven Gerrard’s record, as Liverpool’s top scorer in the Champions League, according to “This is Anfield” website for Liverpool news.
The two goals raised Salah’s tally to 31 goals in the Champions League for Liverpool, in just 48 games, making him ahead of Gerrard, as the club’s historical scorer in the Champions League.
Gerrard scored 30 goals in 87 matches, which made Salah’s achievement even more impressive, after exceeding the number in 39 fewer games, despite the different positions each occupied.
