Ange Postecoglou has seen his Tottenham side concede 10 goals in their past two home league matches

The transition from Jurgen Klopp to Slot has remarkable in its seamlessness.

Help by Mohamed Salah’s apparent determination to rewrite Liverpool’s record books, whether he extends his Anfield contract or not.

Slot has taken what Klopp left him and has, if anything, shaped it into a more controlled, measured machine, with Salah as its spearhead.

The two goals he scored in the second half took him to a remarkable tally of 229 goals in 373 games, moving ahead of the legendary Billy Liddell – who was so influential during his Anfield career that they were often renamed “Liddellpool” – and into fourth place on the club’s list of all-time scorers.

And to show just how good Salah has been, Liddell scored 228 in 534 games, with his 228th goal coming in his 526th appearance.

Salah is now behind Gordon Hodgson with 241 – would you back against him overhauling.

That this season? – World Cup winner Roger Hunt with 285 and record holder Ian Rush with 346.

He has now scored and assisted more than โปรโมชั่น ufabet 10 goals in the Premier League this season, with 15 goals and 11 assists. With just 16 games played, this is the joint-quickest that a player to hit double figures in both categories in a single Premier League campaign since Harry Kane, who also took 16 matches to do it, in 2020-21.

It is also the sixth Premier League season in which Salah’s goals and assists totals have both reached double figures. No-one in the Premier League era can match that.

The statistics offer a numerical measure of Salah’s influence and significance but it goes wider than that – all the more reason why Liverpool must surely be prioritising his signature on a new contract.
