“Another Day, Another Record” – ‘Sensational’ Mohamed Salah Continues to Shine for Liverpool | OneFootball

Mo Salah Continues to Amaze: A Performance Against Chelsea for the Ages

We’re watching greatness and it’s almost crazy how we’ve come to take it for granted. It’s hard to look beyond the obvious brilliance of Mohamed Salah’s performances, but what happened against Chelsea left fans and pundits speechless yet again. While praise is being rightfully showered upon other players for their work in this match, it would be insane to overlook just how sensational Salah was. Another day, another record shattered, another historic performance that left us wondering—are we taking his greatness for granted?

Another Record-Breaking Night

To put it bluntly, Mo Salah was once again unstoppable against Chelsea. Not only did he deliver a goal and an assist, but he also broke into the Premier League’s all-time top 10 goal scorers. Think about that for a moment—he’s not just setting a high standard for today’s game, but etching his name into the eternal annals of Premier League history.

Consider this statistic from TNT Sports: “Mo Salah’s goalscoring record (PL only) vs. the big six: Man United: 12 goals, 6 assists; Arsenal: 10 goals, 2 assists; Spurs: 9 goals, 2 assists; Man City: 7 goals, 4 assists; Chelsea: 5 goals, 3 assists—60 goal contributions and counting.” These are not just numbers; they reflect his dominance against the toughest opposition. Time after time, Salah has risen to the occasion against footballing giants, and the game against Chelsea was no different. His contributions go beyond the statistics—though they’re mind-blowing in their own right. 11 games, 7 goals, 6 assists. It’s easy to lose count of how often the phrase “world-class” is tossed around, but in Salah’s case, it’s an understatement.

Arne Slot’s Praise and Defining Moments

Perhaps the most telling insight into Salah’s brilliance came from opposition manager Arne Slot. Slot said: “I said to Trent: you have some competition now, because I saw that Mo Salah can play as a right full-back as well!” He further commented, “The defensive effort he put in today to help the team in that part is what pleased me just as much as his goal and assist.”

It’s rare that we talk about forwards contributing so heavily on both ends of the pitch, but Salah’s work rate against Chelsea was nothing short of phenomenal. He pinned their defenders, time and time again, making their lives difficult while also taking on defensive responsibilities. How Salah didn’t win more fouls is beyond reason—only referee John Brooks knows for sure. Yet, despite being on the wrong end of questionable officiating, Salah still put in an all-round display that left fans buzzing.

Standing Shoulder to Shoulder with Legends

As if to drive home just how far Salah has come, Squawka Football revealed a remarkable comparison: “Mohamed Salah has now provided as many Premier League assists (74) as Thierry Henry. And he needs 13 more goals to catch him in the goalscoring charts.” To be mentioned alongside a player of Henry’s calibre is no small feat, and it serves as a reminder of just how historic Salah’s contribution to the Premier League has been. When you break it down, Salah isn’t just a standout of his era—he’s on a trajectory that could see him regarded as one of the all-time greats in English football.

Are We Taking Salah’s Brilliance for Granted?

As we continue to witness Salah break records, notch goals, and assist his teammates, the concern grows that we might be starting to take his brilliance for granted. His consistency is almost robotic, but every now and then, like his performance against Chelsea, he reminds us that he’s not just a regular star—he’s a generational talent. We may marvel at Salah’s brilliance, but it’s crucial that we take stock of just how fortunate we are to witness such greatness on a weekly basis. His goal and assist against Chelsea weren’t just about maintaining form—they were another chapter in a career that we will be talking about for decades to come.

Mohamed Salah has consistently demonstrated that he’s not just one of the best of this generation, but one of the best to ever grace the Premier League. His work rate, goal-scoring ability, and knack for rising in the biggest moments are unmatched. Against Chelsea, Salah showed once again why he’s a living legend.
