Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has joined the illustrious Premier League 100 club with the opening goal against Leeds United on Sunday.
The flying winger netted the first goal of the clash at Elland Road and became the fifth-fastest to the landmark in top-flight history.
On a day otherwise marred by a shocking injury to Harvey Elliott, the Reds were in near-perfect form as Jurgen Klopp’s side remained unbeaten.

Some joy from an otherwise sickening day for many Kopites.
Such acts of kindness make the day of young fans and the boy’s father revealed the delight on Twitter late on Sunday evening.
Let’s all hope it’s very much 100 and counting for the 29-year-old hero.
