The Egyptian forward dazzled once again, recording a performance that sparked comparisons to legendary Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.

In a scintillating first-half display, Salah provided an assist for Dominik Szoboszlai to notch Liverpool’s third goal just before the break.

That contribution made Salah the first player in Premier League history to reach at least 10 goals and 10 assists before Christmas.

Impressively, this also marked the fourth consecutive season he has achieved the 10-goal, 10-assist benchmark, a feat unmatched in the league’s history.

Salah didn’t stop there. In the second half, he added two goals and an assist to his tally, taking his Premier League total this season to 15 goals and 11 assists.

Salah’s relentless productivity has now propelled him to 251 Premier League goal contributions, surpassing Thierry Henry’s 249 during his Arsenal career and as Salah eclipsed Henry’s record, fans erupted into debate about the legacy of the two icons.

Many on social media hailed Salah as surpassing Henry in Premier League greatness, especially with the Liverpool star now closing in on Henry’s legendary 2002/03 campaign, where the Frenchman delivered 24 goals and 20 assists in a single season.

With Salah’s current form, many believe he could match or even exceed Henry’s remarkable totals before the season’s end after already notching 15 goals and 11 assists before the halfway point of the season.

Salah’s achievements continue to inspire awe and stir conversation about his place among the league’s greatest players. Whether or not he ultimately outshines Henry in the eyes of all fans, there’s no doubt the "Egyptian King" has written his name indelibly into Premier League lore.
