MOMENT OF THE WEEK: Salah’s historic strike…

Some weeks, picking the standout moment feels like splitting hairs. Erling Haaland’s ruthless brace against Bournemouth, Lucas Paqueta’s thunderbolt versus Newcastle, Lamine Yamal’s Messi-esque magic for Barcelona, or Orlando Pirates’ 20-year-old sensation Cemran Dansin announcing himself with a stunner against Sundowns — all worthy contenders.

But this week, one goal carried more than just beauty. It carried weight. It carried history.

Liverpool were wobbling. Four straight defeats had left the champions bruised, their fans restless, their manager under fire. And then came Mohamed Salah — the man for the big moments — to steady the ship and etch his name deeper into Anfield folklore.

When Emiliano Martínez misjudged a pass, Salah pounced like a predator sensing weakness. One touch, one finish, and the net rippled. Simple, clinical, devastating. But this was no ordinary goal. It was his 250th strike for Liverpool, a milestone that places him alongside the club’s immortals — Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285).

And the records didn’t stop there. That finish also drew Salah level with Wayne Rooney for the most Premier League goal involvements for a single club: 276 (188 goals, 88 assists). Across the league, his tally now stands at 279, joint-third all-time with Frank Lampard, trailing only Rooney (311) and Alan Shearer (324).

Numbers tell part of the story. The roar of Anfield told the rest. This wasn’t just a goal. It was a statement — from a legend who refuses to fade.
