Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah matches 31 year-old scoring record

Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah matched a 31 year-old club record with his goal in victory over Bournemouth yesterday.

His goal against Bournemouth made him the first Liverpool player to score 20 before Christmas since 1986.

That record was set by none other than Reds legend Ian Rush, who made over 400 appearances for the club.

Salah has a way to go if he is to beat Rush's 346 goals in all competitions - Liverpool's leading all-time top scorer - but he's certainly made a good start.

The Egyptian is currently the top scorer in the Premier League with an impressive 13 goals after 18 games.
