Brentford Becomes the Latest Victim in Mohamed Salah’s Historic Record

Egyptian star Mohamed Salah scored a crucial goal that helped Liverpool secure a 2-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield on Sunday, during the second week of the English Premier League.

Salah’s goal came in the 70th minute when he received the ball outside the penalty area, advanced towards the goal, and fired a shot into the back of the net.

With this goal, Salah became the player with the most goals against Brentford in Premier League history, bringing his tally to six goals.

The “Egyptian Pharaoh” continued his strong start to the new season, marking the first time he has scored in both the first and second rounds since joining the Reds.

The 32-year-old star also reached an impressive milestone, with 128 goal contributions at Anfield in the Premier League—scoring 93 goals and providing 35 assists.

For Liverpool, this victory brought them to six points, placing them fourth in the standings, level on points with Manchester City, Brighton, and Arsenal but trailing on goal difference.

Dutch coach Arne Slot, whose team is set to visit Manchester United in the third round later this weekend, reflected on the match, saying, “In the first half, Brentford had more energy, but the second half was different, and that eventually led to gaps opening up.”

He added, “In the end, Brentford no longer had the strength to defend against us.”

Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister also commented, “We know there’s progress we need to make. In terms of transitions, we need to be patient at times, but we’re in the midst of a transitional phase.”

He concluded, “Everyone is working hard to understand Arne’s ideas.”
