Mohamed Salah has gone level with Robbie Fowler in the Premier League scoring rankings thanks to his goal against Arsenal.
The Egyptian winger fired in Liverpool‘s equaliser with less than 10 minutes to go to make it 2-2 at the Emirates.
Arsenal had gone ahead through Bukayo Saka‘s own record-setting goal, before Virgil van Dijk equalised nine minutes later.
Mikel Merino then scored what the Gunners thought would be the winner as the game ticked into the final minutes at 2-1.
But Trent Alexander-Arnold’s beautiful ball over the top near the end of the game was picked up by Darwin Nunez who unselfishly passed it to Salah.
The Egyptian made no mistake as he fired home to finish off a well-worked goal from the away side.
Salah is already Liverpool’s leading Premier League scorer and took the title in their 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United in March 2023.
But he went one step further in the top flight by equalling the overall tally set by club legend Fowler on Sunday away at Arsenal.
The 32-year-old’s goal is his 163rd in the Premier League, most of which have come for Liverpool but his first two were with Chelsea.
Fowler reached his total across two spells at the Reds alongside stints with Leeds United and Manchester City.
His last goal came in 2007 when Liverpool beat Sheffield United 4-0 at home, with the former striker netting two on the day.
Salah now sits level with him and has done so in 107 appearances less, as well as overtaking Jermain Defoe in the all-time standings.

The Liverpool star has also extended his goal tally against Arsenal to 11 in all competitions – his joint-fourth best record against a club with Man City.
Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, joining for £34.3million from Roma.
He’s won the Champions League and Premier League with the Reds amongst other honours, writing himself into the club’s history books.
His contract expires in the summer.
Salah’s late effort was enough to earn Liverpool a point on the road at the Emirates.
The Reds missed out on the chance to go top of the Premier League, with the draw seeing them sit one point behind leaders Manchester City, who beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday.
