Mohamed Salah broke more records on Saturday and climbed ever higher in Liverpool’s all-time goalscoring list as he struck against Newcastle, beating two Anfield icons in the process.

The Egyptian King has been the Reds’ delivery boy this season as, although the team as a whole has struggled, he has still managed to plunder goals upfront.

Salah was second in the Premier League’s top scorer charts heading into Saturday afternoon’s clash with the Magpies at Anfield but closed the gap on Harry Kane [21] in the Golden Boot race as he struck with just three minutes on the clock.

After a searching cross from Sadio Mane, the ball was flicked on by a Newcastle defender before dropping at Salah’s feet with his back to goal.

The 28-year-old used his body and strength superbly to fend off a challenge, before turning on the spot and lashing a sharp finish into the net – leaving Martin Dubravka helpless.

Most of the chances created by Newcastle, for whom forward Allan Saint-Maximin was a constant live wire, came in the first half and again after Willock and Wilson, the fit-again striker, came off the bench halfway through the second half.

Willock also scored an 82nd-minute winner against West Ham last weekend, as well as an 85th-minute equalizer against Tottenham on April 4.

Newcastle moved nine points above the relegation zone with five games left.
