Liverpool’s Salah closing in on Le Tissier’s Premier League mark

Thanks to his penalty goal against the Blues, the Egyptian is within touching distance of the Englishman’s mark in top-flight history

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is fast closing in on a notable Matt Le Tissier Premier League mark with his penalty against Chelsea.

In Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues, the Egypt international scored from the penalty mark to rescue his team from defeat.

Kai Havertz had given the Stamford Bridge giants the lead in the 22nd minute having been set up by Reece James, but Salah restored parity for Jurgen Klopp’s men before the half-time break.
