Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has etched his name into Premier League history by becoming the all-time leading scorer on opening weekends.
The Egyptian forward has now netted 10 goals in opening-round fixtures, surpassing the tallies of legends such as Thierry Henry, Wayne Rooney, and Sergio Agüero. Alongside his goals, Salah also leads in overall contributions on opening days with 15 (goals + assists), highlighting his unmatched consistency at the start of campaigns.
