Legend's Praise for Pharaoh Ahead of 2020 Salah and Henri are vying for the best EPL ever

Feb 24, 2025

"Sala can be the best player in EPL history."

It was Jamie Carragher's rave comment. Salah scored one goal and one assist in the match against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 24th (Korea time). Liverpool came close to winning the championship with a 2-0 complete victory.

It was Salah's one-man show. With this record, he scored 25 goals and 16 assists in the league alone this season. Both categories are No. 1 in the EPL this season. He surpassed 40 EPL attack points for the second time in a season following the 2017-2018 season when he scored 32 goals and 10 assists. The EPL secretariat said that Salah is the first player to make more than 40 offensive points twice in the EPL. He also said that Salah was the first to achieve more than 25 goals and more than 15 assists in one season at the same time.

Salah challenges new EPL history. He is aiming at the record of most offensive points in a season. The EPL record was set by Andy Cole in the 1993-1994 season, which created 47 offensive points, and Alan Shearer in the 1994-1995 season. At that time, the number of games played in one season was 42, more than now. The most offensive points in the 38-game system are 44 set by Thierry Henry in the 2002-2003 season and Elling Holan in the 2022-2023 season.

Aiming for another record. He joined the club '20-20' recorded by Henri Mann in the 2002-2003 season. Henry scored 24 goals and 20 assists at the time. Salah will be the second in history to make a name if he puts up just four assists. 5 If you raise help, you will go over Henri's record.

Carragher responded to this monstrous record. He said on Sky Sports that `When people talk about the EPL, Henri always mentions number one. Salah is definitely second place for me. If Salah re-signs and plays in the EPL, he will compete with Henri for the best ever."
