With the second goal in Liverpool’s 6-1 victory at Leeds United, Mohamed Salah set a Premier League record.

The strike was the Egyptian’s 134th in the competition, and it was his 106th with his left foot.
It overtook the 105 scored by another Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, who coincidentally also featured for Salah’s opponents, Leeds.
He extended his lead over Fowler to two in the second half at Elland Road with a calm finish from a superb team goal to make it 107 goals with his left foot.
