Liverpool F.C. Star Mohamed Salah etched his name further into Premier League history on January 31, 2026, by setting a new assist record during the club's match against Newcastle United at Anfield. The Egyptian forward's key contribution helped the Reds extend their lead in a key league fixture.
The record-breaking moment occurred in the 67th minute of the Premier League 2025/26 season's matchday 24. Salah delivered a key assist to Florian Wirtz, who calmly slotted home Liverpool's third goal of the game.
The goal originated from a smart passing sequence initiated by Liverpool near midfield. Wirtz distributed the ball wide to Salah, who patiently held possession before returning a perfectly weighted pass to the German midfielder. Wirtz then expertly struck the ball past Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope, securing the goal.
Earlier in the match, Newcastle United had taken the lead through Anthony Gordon, putting pressure on the home side. However, Liverpool responded strongly, with Salah's assist proving to be a significant turning point in their performance.
This latest achievement shows Mohamed Salah's consistent impact and playmaking ability for Liverpool F.C. His record-setting assist against Newcastle United further solidifies his status as one of the Premier League's most influential players, continually contributing to the club's success.
