Mohamed Salah Makes Liverpool History with 20 Goals in Seven Consecutive Seasons. Liverpool’s prolific striker, Mohamed Salah, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first player in the club’s history to score 20 goals or more in seven successive seasons. However, amidst the dominant performance against Sparta Prague in the Europa League, it was evident that Salah’s goal tally could have been even more impressive if he faced weaker opponents on a regular basis, with the potential to finish each campaign with a staggering 80 goals.

In the match against the Czech champions, Liverpool displayed their superiority as they comfortably thrashed Sparta Prague. Bobby Clark emerged as a standout performer, contributing to the goal fest alongside Salah, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo (scoring twice), and Dominik Szoboszlai. The Reds’ victory was so straightforward that they could have easily reached double figures had they desired.

Sparta Prague’s woeful performance in the knockout stages of a European tournament is difficult to forget, and Liverpool anticipates facing much tougher opponents in the upcoming quarter-final draw. Despite their commanding lead, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had the luxury of making substitutions at halftime, resting Nunez, Joe Gomez, and Wataru Endo. Nevertheless, Klopp himself received a yellow card due to his protest against a questionable booking for substitute Jarell Quansah.

Liverpool’s dominance was evident as they scored three goals in just 12 minutes, establishing a 4-0 lead within the first 14 minutes of the match. Nunez calmly slotted Szoboszlai’s pass into the corner of the net for his 17th goal of the season. Shortly after, Bobby Clark seized the opportunity on his full European debut, capitalizing on Sparta Prague captain Ladislav Krejci’s ill-advised pass across the goal. Salah, cementing his place in Liverpool’s history books, added to the tally with a precise low shot from inside the box after Clark’s interception. Gakpo completed the trio of forwards finding the back of the net, converting a first-time finish assisted by Salah.

Despite Sparta Prague’s woeful performance, their supporters remained vocal throughout the match, finding solace when Serbian forward Veljko Birmancevic managed to squeeze a shot past Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher. In the second half, Szoboszlai’s deflected shot found its way into the net, courtesy of Krejci. Gakpo continued to shine, redirecting Harvey Elliott’s shot with a clever flick, compounding the misery for Sparta Prague’s beleaguered goalkeeper, Peter Vindahkl.

Klоpp intrоduced 20-year-оld Pоlish attacking midfielder Mateusz Musialоwski fоr his debut, and surprisingly, captain Virgil van Dijk made a cameо appearance as a substitute in the 66th minute, indicating his gradual return frоm ιnjury.

оverall, it was a memоrable night fоr Mоhamed Salah and Liverpооl, as they nоt оnly secured a resоunding victоry but alsо witnessed the Egyptian fоrward etch his nаme in the club’s histоry with his exceptiоnal gоal-scоring recоrd.
