Mohamed Salah claimed two historic feats in Liverpool’s rout over Tottenham.

Salah notched a second-half brace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as well as two assists which saw him record a statistical first for the modern top flight.
The Egyptian became the first-ever player in the Premier League era to amount double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas.
He currently heads into the festive period leading the way in the race for the Golden Boot and the assists chart, with 15 goals and 11 assists respectively.

His 229th goal in a red shirt put the forward just 12 strikes away from moving into the top three by drawing level with Gordon Hodgson’s haul of 241.
