How many goals and assists does Mo Salah need to break the all-time Premier League record?

On Sunday versus Manchester City, he scored and assisted in the same league game for the 11th time this season – equalling Lionel Messi's 2014/15 Barcelona record for the most in a single campaign across Europe's top five leagues.

No player has achieved this feat in the decade since.

With 10 league matches remaining, Salah has a great chance of breaking Messi's record for games involving both a goal and an assist and is also on track to shatter several long-standing Premier League records.

The all-time Premier League record for goal involvements in a single season is 47.

Alan Shearer and Andy Cole share the G+A record (47)

It is jointly held by Andy Cole for Newcastle in the 1993/94 season; 34 goals and 13 assists in 40 games played and Alan Shearer for Blackburn in 1994/95; also 34 goals and 13 assists and he played all 42 games of that season.

Those are the records for 42-game seasons before the Premier League reduced from 22 teams to 20.

In the modern 38-game Premier League era, the record is 44 goal involvements, shared by Thierry Henry for Arsenal in 2002/03; 24 goals and 20 assists and Erling Haaland in his first Manchester City season (2022/23); 36 goals and 8 assists.

Salah therefore only needs six more goal involvements to break the all-time record and only three more to claim the 38-game season record.

Cole's record is notable because he achieved it without taking penalties and he finished both as top scorer and top assist provider that season – the only player in Premier League history to mark such an achievement in a single campaign.

Shearer's record came during the peak of his powers between 1993 and 1996 when he registered three consecutive 30-goal+ seasons in the league.

The many records Salah can break

Salah is already the first Premier League player ever to register 25+ goals and 15+ assists in a single campaign. He’s also set a new Liverpool club record for assists in a Premier League season (17), breaking Steve McManaman's previous record (15) from 1995/96.

Salah has equalled Gordon Hodgson's 241 goals for Liverpool in all competitions, putting him joint-third on the club's all-time scoring list behind only Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346).

And he's become the first player in Premier League history to be involved in 40+ goals in two different seasons.

In the Premier League's all-time scoring charts, Salah currently sits sixth with 182 goals. At his current pace, he's projected to surpass both Sergio Aguero (184) and Andy Cole (187) before the season ends, moving into fourth place overall.

Salah can also join a very prestigious “20+20 club” – players who have scored 20+ goals and provided 20+ assists in a single league season in Europe's top five leagues. Only Messi and Henry have achieved this feat this century.

With 25 goals and 17 assists already, Salah needs just three more assists to join this club.

In 2017/18, his debut Liverpool season, Salah recorded 32 goals and 10 assists in 36 appearances. He has already equalled that total goal involvement tally (42) with 10 games to go.

If he maintains his current rate of goals and assists, Salah is projected to finish the season with approximately 57 goal contributions – a figure that would obliterate the existing Premier League record.
