Mohamed Salah overtakes Premier League icon with landmark Liverpool goal

Mohamed Salah moved clear of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry in the Premier League scoring charts when he netted in Liverpool's 4-1 win over Ipswich Town.

Salah scored the second in Saturday's comfortable win to take his all-time Premier League tally to a whopping 176 goals in 285 appearances across his time with both the Reds and former employers Chelsea.

The goal sees him move seventh in the league's all-time scoring charts and bumps Salah above Henry, who ended his stay in the English top flight with 175 goals from 258 games.

Salah will hope to climb even higher this season, with the 177 goals scored by former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard next in his sights. Sergio Aguero (184) and Andy Cole (187) would both appear to be in danger of losing their spots in the standings, with Salah in some of the best goalscoring form of his career this season.

The goal against Ipswich was also Salah's 100th at Anfield in the Premier League. Since the competition began in 1992, no other player has come close to a century of home goals for Liverpool, with Robbie Fowler the closest on 85.
