Mohamed Salah becomes 5th-fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals

Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal in 162 games as Liverpool beat Leeds 3-0 on Sunday evening, becoming the fifth-fastest player to do so.

When Salah arrived at Anfield, he was considered a winger – and one with major doubts raised over his capability after a quiet first spell in England with Chelsea.

Liverpool keep the early pace at the top of the Premier League then. With just a point separating the expected top four, the title race this season looks highly promising. That’s all for now. Goodbye!

Liverpool’s win takes them to third in the Premier League table, level on points with Manchester United and Chelsea. They’ll be satisfied with their outing, although Elliott’s injury will be a cause for concern. Leeds stay 17th. They haven’t quite clicked yet this season but Bielsa will surely get his side firing again.

Liverpool continue their unbeaten streak over Leeds by securing a handsome victory. The Reds had Leeds’ number even before Struijk’s red card, scoring through Salah and Fabinho. Once Leeds were down to 10 men they were always going to struggle further, and Mane grabbed a goal of his own late on.
