London: Mohamed Salah, a forward for Liverpool, scored the equaliser in his team's 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace, joining a select group of players to have scored 150 Premier League goals. The deflected goal on Saturday at Selhurst Park marked another milestone for the player wearing a Liverpool shirt—it was his 200th goal overall for the club.
The forward reached the landmark in only 247 matches in the competition, becoming the 11th player to achieve this feat. The Egyptian is the fifth-quickest player in the competition's history to reach the milestone, getting there faster than Andrew Cole and former Liverpool striker Michael Owen, IANS reported.
Salah's best goalscoring campaign came in the 2017/18 season, his first with Liverpool. He found the net a total of 32 times in 36 appearances (a Premier League record for goals in a 38-match campaign at the time), scoring 44 goals in all competitions in that season.
Among players who are currently active in the Premier League, only Erling Haaland has a better record than Salah.
