Mohamed Salah continues to write his own story in the Premier League. On Friday, August 15, 2025, during the opening day of the 2025-2026 season, the Egyptian striker for Liverpool netted his 10th goal in an opening match. He has set a new record at the very top of English football.

A truly unique achievement for the Reds' superstar. With this latest strike against Bournemouth (a 4-2 victory for the Reds), Mohamed Salah becomes the all-time top scorer in the history of the Premier League on opening days. He has now surpassed Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, and Alan Shearer—icons of English football.

A living legend at Anfield

What is most impressive about the Egyptian star is his remarkable consistency. Mohamed Salah has scored in 8 out of 9 opening-day fixtures since joining Liverpool in 2017. Such consistency is rare and speaks to his meticulous preparation for every new campaign, as well as his incredible ability to hit the ground running from the very first whistle.

Since his transfer from AS Roma, Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of sensational in a red shirt. In eight full seasons at Liverpool, he has stacked up trophies (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup…) while maintaining astonishing numbers: over 200 goals in all competitions, and now 10 goals on opening days alone.

At 33, he continues to prove he's still one of the most lethal strikers in Europe. Despite recurring transfer rumors, especially those linking him to Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Salah appears more committed than ever to Liverpool's project under Arne Slot, Jürgen Klopp's successor.
