Mohamed Salah (Mo Salah) has officially become Liverpool’s all-time Premier League assist leader, surpassing Steven Gerrard in his final game for the Reds
In a career defined by breathtaking goals and unwavering consistency, Mohamed Salah saved one last historic milestone for his final bow at Anfield. During Sunday’s Premier League season finale against Brentford, the Liverpool talisman produced a moment of characteristic brilliance, setting up Curtis Jones for the opening goal and, in the process, officially becoming the club’s outright record-holder for Premier League assists.
The assist, which took Salah’s tally to 93 for the Reds, saw him surpass the legendary Steven Gerrard, who held the club record at 92. It was a fittingly elegant conclusion to a nine-year journey on Merseyside—one that saw the Egyptian forward cement his status not just as a prolific scorer, but as one of the most creative architects in the league’s history.
A Milestone in the Making
The record-breaking moment arrived in the 57th minute. Cutting in from his trademark position on the right flank, Salah threaded a perfectly weighted pass to find Jones, who calmly finished to send the Anfield crowd into a roar. For the thousands in attendance, the goal was more than just an opener; it was a final “thank you” to a player who has defined an era of success for the club.
When Salah was substituted in the 74th minute, the standing ovation lasted for several minutes—a testament to the deep bond between the Egyptian and the Liverpool faithful.
Climbing the All-Time Ranks
Beyond his standing at Liverpool, the milestone also highlights Salah’s place among the elite playmakers in English football history. With this latest assist, Salah now sits on 94 total Premier League assists (having registered one during his tenure at Chelsea), moving him into a tie for sixth place on the league’s all-time list alongside Arsenal icon Dennis Bergkamp.
For a player who arrived in 2017 primarily regarded for his clinical finishing, reaching such a lofty position in the assists chart reflects a remarkable evolution in his game. Over the past nine years, Salah has demonstrated a profound tactical intelligence, consistently evolving his style to create opportunities for teammates even as defensive focus on him reached unprecedented levels.
The Curtain Falls on an Illustrious Era
The match against Brentford concluded what has been a truly remarkable chapter in Liverpool’s history. With his departure confirmed at the end of this season, Sunday’s match served as the closing scene of a career that brought the Premier League title, the Champions League, and countless other honors to Anfield.
As Salah prepares to embark on his next challenge, the numbers speak for themselves. By moving past Steven Gerrard, he has claimed yet another record, ensuring that when the history of this Liverpool team is written, his name will be at the forefront of both the goal-scoring and playmaking charts.
“It has been an honor,” Salah remarked after the match, reflecting on his time at the club. “I came here to achieve something special, and I leave knowing we shared some of the greatest moments together.”
As the dust settles on the 2025–26 season, the Anfield faithful are left not just with the memories of the goals, but with the appreciation of the sheer creative genius that graced their pitch for nearly a decade. Salah’s final assist was the perfect ending to a legendary story.
