Salah sets single-season record with 32nd Premier League goal

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah moved past a trio of Premier League legends by scoring his 32nd goal of the campaign Sunday, breaking the league record in a 38-match season.

Salah, who was named the Premier League Player of the Season on Sunday, scored the first goal of Liverpool's 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

The historic goal came in the 26th minute when Salah got on the end of Dominic Solanke's clever pass into the box and fired a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Despite Harry Kane's brace in Tottenham's thrilling 5-4 win over Leicester City on Sunday - giving him 30 goals in an injury-shortened season - the English forward's two-year reign as the Premier League's top scorer came to an end as Salah collected his first Golden Boot after Sunday's win.

Along with becoming the highest scorer in a single season - a record previously shared by Alan Shearer, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Luis Suarez - Salah also broke Robin van Persie's record for goals inside the box, as the Liverpool forward scored his 29th from inside the penalty area.

Following the goal against Brighton on Sunday, Manchester United and Swansea City are the only Premier League clubs that did not allow the Egyptian international to score during the 2017-18 campaign.

Overall, Salah has scored 44 goals in all competitions this season, which leaves him just three short of Ian Rush's Liverpool record that was set during 1983-84.
