The Liverpool forward reached a notable landmark against Crystal Palace, with just three top-flight icons achieving the feat quicker than he has
Mohamed Salah has reached 50 Premier League goals spread across spells at Chelsea and Liverpool, with only three players hitting that landmark in fewer games.
The Egyptian forward made his way to another notable landmark with a brace against Crystal Palace.
He has now recorded 50 goals in the English top-flight in just 72 appearances.
Andy Cole (65 games), Alan Shearer (66 games) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (68 games) are all iconic frontmen of the Premier League era.
Salah is not even a striker, so to be in such company is quite an achievement.
His race to a half-century has also seen him reach that mark in the same number of games as former Reds star Fernando Torres – another out-and-out forward.
To further put Salah’s remarkable return into perspective, he has proved quicker to 50 than Manchester City star Sergio Aguero (81 games) and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (83 games).

Actually, thisd season is not Salah's best...always seem to be chasing the ball, losing the ball, poor ball passing but when you abt to crucify him, he score a gosl or two to keep you quiet again

Truly Africa has Salah. Congratulations man it's not easy to score such number of goals especially in the Epl, if I remember very well It took 6 years for CR7 to score 84 Epl goals for utd, yet you have scored 48 Epl goals for Lfc in your second season. Wow what a player, I wish you all the best Mo. YNWA
