Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah has set another record in the Premier League (PL) after scoring a brace in Liverpool’s 6-1 annihilation of Leeds United on Monday,
The Egypt international, after the feat, recorded the most left-footed goals in the history of the English top-flight.
Diego Jota and Mohamed Salah scored a brace each, while Cody Gakpo and Darvin Nunez also chipped in a goal each for Jurgen Klopp’s side who have struggled for the majority of this season.

Salah scored the second goal of the night for the Merseysiders with an excellent near-post finish.
It was his 106th in the Premier League with his left foot, which means the former Chelsea star has overtaken former Red striker Robbie Fowler, who scored 105 with his left foot during his career.
At the moment, Salah’s nearest challenger for the record is fellow North African star, Riyad Mahrez with 65 goals in his own basket.
With all other players in the top 10 list either retired or no longer in the Premier League, it remains a herculean task to catch up with the Egyptian for now.
Below are the top ten players with the most left-footed goals in Premier League history.
Mohamed Salah – 107
Robbie Fowler – 105
Robin van Persie – 94
Ryan Giggs – 83
Riyad Mahrez – 65
Romelu Lukaku – 60
Olivier Giroud – 50
David Silva – 49
Daniel Sturridge – 47
Louis Saha – 46
