Mohamed Salah does what only two other players, including Luis Suarez, have done in Liverpool's history with goal against Fulham
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has achieved a remarkable feat by scoring in eight consecutive home matches, joining the likes of Luis Suarez and Gordon Hodgson as the only players to do so in the club's history. His latest goal came from a penalty against Fulham, helping Liverpool keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive. Salah's excellent form this season has seen him score 29 goals in all competitions and has him on the verge of surpassing Steven Gerrard's tally of 186 goals for the Reds.
Liverpool faced Fulham at Anfield with the aim of securing a win to boost their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season. Despite a spirited performance from the visitors, Liverpool took the lead from the penalty spot after Issa Diop brought down Darwin Nunez in the box. Salah confidently struck the penalty to score his eighth consecutive goal at Anfield, a feat only previously achieved by Suarez and Hodgson.
Salah's run of form has been particularly impressive, considering Liverpool's lacklustre season so far. He has been a constant threat to opposition defences and has been the driving force behind Liverpool's push for a top-four finish. His consistency in front of goal has seen him become one of the most lethal strikers in the Premier League.
Suarez, who achieved the same feat in 2013-14, was suspended for ten matches during his run for biting Branislav Ivanovic. Hodgson, on the other hand, achieved the feat almost a century ago between September 1927 and March 1928. Salah's achievement is a testament to his ability and consistency, and he will undoubtedly look to add to his tally in the remaining fixtures of the season.
Liverpool's hopes of finishing in the top four are still alive, albeit by a slim margin. They are currently four points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have two games in hand. Jurgen Klopp's side will be hoping to maintain their good form in the remaining fixtures of the season and hope that United slip up to give them a chance of securing a Champions League spot.
Liverpool's next fixture is against Brentford at Anfield, followed by a trip to struggling Leicester City. The season concludes with matches against Aston Villa and Southampton, and Liverpool will be hoping that Salah continues his rich vein of form to help them secure a top-four finish.
Salah's eight consecutive home goals is a remarkable achievement, and it is a testament to his ability and consistency. He has been a standout performer for Liverpool this season and has played a significant role in their push for a top-four finish. As Liverpool looks to end the season on a high, Salah's goals will undoubtedly play a crucial role in their quest for a Champions League spot.
