Egypt and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah became only the 10th player to hit 150 goals for Liverpool in all competitions.
Salah reached the milestone with a goal in the 67th minute against Norwich in the English Premier League. The goal was Liverpool’s second of the night in a 3-1 comeback win.
Salah has now joined a club of only five players who scored 150 goals in all competitions for Liverpool in less than 261 appearances.
While Salah hit the milestone in 233 matches, it only took Roger Hunt 226 appearances. Hunt turned out for Liverpool for 11 years between 1958 and 1969, scoring 244 goals in 404 appearances.
Gordon Hodgson, who featured for Liverpool between 1925 and 1936, took 242 matches to get to 150 goals. He ended up scoring 233 goals in 358 matches for The Reds.
