The Egyptian is the eighth player overall to reach a double-century for combined goals and assists with a single team, but only one has done so in fewer appearances.
That is Thierry Henry, who achieved the feat in 206 matches for Arsenal, compared to Salah's 223 appearances for Liverpool.

Salah started Saturday with 199 goal involvements for Liverpool, and set up goals for Cody Gakpo and Andrew Robertson to take his tally to 201.
