Salah again found the net in Tuesday’s 2-0 victory against RB Leipzig and he will be a key figure on Saturday’s Merseyside derby clash with Everton at Anfield.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

This is true greatness we are watching at Anfield and Liverpool supporters should never take it for granted. Salah is an extraordinary footballer whose numbers in the final third are up there with the best players in Premier League history.

Bizarrely, there are still some who [don’t seem to rate and adore him](https://www.football365.com/news/why-mo-salah-liverpool-underappreciated-mailbox) as much as they should, but the above statistic outlines why he is so special.

Despite Liverpool’s struggles, he is still currently [three goals clear](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers) in the Premier League Golden Boot race this season, while his record of [118 goals in 186 games](https://www.lfchistory.net/Players/Player/Profile/1317) for the Reds, despite not being an out-and-out striker, is beyond belief.
