Mohamed Salah ties the record for goals on the first day of a Premier League season after a late equaliser against Fulham takes him to eight, while he also extends his record for goals on consecutive first days to six

Mo Salah has equaled the record for goals on the first day of Premier League season by scoring his eighth against Fulham.

He is now tied with Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer, all of whom played more Premier League seasons than Salah.

The Liverpool winger already held the record for the most consecutive opening days scored on, but he has now upped his record to six.

It was an eighth goal on the opening day of a Premier League season for the Liverpool winger

The goal, which secured a point for Liverpool in a surprisingly tough game for the Reds at Craven Cottage, also took Salah level with Michael Owen as the eighth top scorer in Liverpool history.
