More history for Mohamed Salah! Liverpool's Egyptian King sets new record as he punishes Aston Villa error with simple goal

Salah broke the deadlock at Villa Park after a poor pass from Andres Garcia gifted possession to Diogo Jota. The Portugal star then laid the ball off to Salah to fire home his 29th goal of the season in all competitions. Salah's strike also means he has set a new club record. The Egyptian King has now scored in 15 away league games in a single Premier League campaign, beating the previous record of 14 set by Luis Suarez in 2013-14.

Salah's latest goal comes amid another stellar season for the Reds. The forward is the Premier League's top scorer and has played a key role in their impressive campaign. Arne Slot's side are top of the Premier League table, into the final of the Carabao Cup and through to the last 16 of the Champions League. Yet Salah's future at the club remains uncertain, with the 32-year-old out of contract in the summer and yet to agree an extension with the Merseysiders.

A flick through the record books suggests Salah's latest milestone may take some beating. His 15 away goals is the most by a Liverpool player in one season since Gordon Hodgson in 1930-31. Only one player, Jimmy Smith with 16 in 1929-30, has ever scored more for the Reds. However, Salah still has time left this season to beat that landmark and claim the record outright.

Liverpool face another crucial fixture next time out as they travel to defending Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday.
