“History Breaker”: Egyptian Legend Mohamed Salah Set New Premier League Record

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah made history by becoming the first player to score 10 Premier League goals on Match Day one, as the Reds beat Bournemouth in their opening game of the season. Salah's goal sealed the victory, with the team also seeing goals from Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo, and Antonie Semenyo.

The match was marred by reports of racial abuse towards Semenyo from the crowd. Salah's achievement adds to his impressive record of either scoring or assisting in every opening weekend since joining Liverpool.

The Egyptian forward's goal also saw him surpass Sergio Aguero as the top foreign scorer in Premier League history, with 185 goals. The match was an emotional moment as fans sang in honor of the late Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car crash.
