Liverpool star Mohamed Salah made Premier League history on Friday night as he scored his 10th goal on an opening day fixture. Salah found the net in injury time during Liverpool’s 4-2 victory over Bournemouth at Anfield. The Egypt international already held the record for most goals scored on gameweek one, but this latest strike makes him the first player to ever reach double figures on opening day. His consistency in delivering big moments has once again highlighted his status as one of the most influential players in Premier League history. Liverpool’s win over Bournemouth was anything but straightforward. The match swung from end to end in a pulsating contest before Arne Slot’s side eventually secured the three points. Salah’s goal not only capped off the win but also ensured his name continues to dominate the history books. His achievement puts him ahead of other legends like Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, and Jamie Vardy, who each managed eight opening day goals in their careers. By reaching 10, Salah has set a new benchmark for future players to chase, showing his ability to deliver in the most high-pressure moments from the very first game of each season.Salah Makes Premier League History with 10th Opening Day Goal

Beyond his new opening day record, Salah’s goal against Bournemouth carried even more weight in Premier League history. The strike was his 187th in the competition, moving him level with Andy Cole in fourth place on the all-time scoring chart. This milestone puts Salah alongside some of the greatest forwards the league has ever seen and further cements his legacy as one of the most consistent and prolific attackers of his generation. With plenty of games left this season, Salah now has the chance to surpass Cole and chase down the next names on the list. The atmosphere at Anfield on the night was highly emotional as the club and fans paid tribute to the late Portugal international Diogo Jota, with moving scenes both before and after the match. Salah himself was seen in tears during the tribute, underlining how significant the night was beyond the football itself. Still, once the match began, the Egyptian king produced yet another historic moment for Liverpool and the Premier League. Up next for Salah and his teammates is a tough clash with Newcastle United, where he will look to add to his remarkable scoring record and continue inspiring the Reds under new manager Arne Slot.
