👑 Salah breaks Rooney's PL record with stunning Newcastle performance
Mohamed Salah's place in the Premier League annals was already long secured, but he's made more history on Wednesday against Newcastle.
No player has scored and assisted in a single game as many times as the Liverpool icon.
The Egyptian accomplished such a feat when he initially set up Curtis Jones for a thumping equaliser before getting a goal of his own.
Salah received a ball from Trent Alexander-Arnold and redirected it into the far left corner for 2-2.
He's now scored and assisted in 37 Premier League games, breaking the previous record held by Wayne Rooney.
