Salah Sets a New Premier League Record
In what could be Salah’s final season with Liverpool, the Egyptian forward reached a remarkable milestone. With two goals and two assists in the game, Salah became the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas in a single season. He now leads the Golden Boot race with 15 goals, ahead of Erling Haaland’s 13, and has 11 assists to his name.
Reflecting on his achievement, Salah said, “I didn’t think about it before the game, to be fair. But it’s something that makes me happy and proud. I just keep working hard.”

Slot also acknowledged Tottenham’s resilience in the latter stages and credited his side for maintaining their composure to secure the win.
