FeatureMohamed Salah's top 10 Liverpool goals - as chosen by fans

Ahead of Sunday’s season finale against Brentford, which will be the Egyptian’s last match before leaving the Reds, he has totalled 257 strikes in the shirt.

As well as being a prolific scorer across his nine years at Anfield, Salah has frequently produced jaw-dropping finishes.

We recently put a shortlist of 30 of his finest efforts to a vote of fans here on Liverpoolfc.com – and the results can be found below…

10 – Everton (H), December 2017

It’s a testament to the depth of quality in Salah’s goal collection for Liverpool that a Puskas Award winner must settle for 10th spot in this list.

His first strike in a Merseyside derby, this effort on a snowy afternoon inside Anfield features a little bit of everything that made the No.11 so devastatingly effective.

From a seemingly innocuous position in the right channel, Salah shows strength to hold his marker at bay, followed by deft footwork to move past another opponent and put the ball in a shooting position.

And then comes his trademark curled finish, this one sent soaring precisely into the postage stamp of the far top corner.

9 – Manchester United (H), January 2020

The goal that made us all believe.

At the time of this fixture, Jürgen Klopp’s team’s Premier League record shows 20 wins, one draw and zero defeats that season. Barring an unprecedented collapse, they are going to be champions.

But after 30 years without the club being perched on top – a period in which United had racked up titles – nobody connected to the Reds dares count any chickens.

A symbolic Anfield defeat of United, though, would break the dam.

Leading 1-0 in the final minutes, Salah collects Alisson Becker’s counter-attack long kick out, shrugs off the attentions of Daniel James and slots the ball into the net in front of the Kop.

His shirt is off, Alisson runs the length of the pitch to celebrate, and supporters allow themselves to believe: “We’re gonna win the league.”

Iconic.

8 – Roma (H), April 2018

Salah cites this performance as one of his two best in a Liverpool shirt, alongside the hat-trick he notched at Old Trafford in 2021.

Understandably, too, with the Egyptian starring against his old club in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

He’ll end up with two goals and two assists in a 5-2 victory at Anfield, with the effort voted eighth in this list the opener of that night.

It is another example of the essential Salah, guiding an outrageously accurate curler from the edge of the box right into the roof of the net.

That he does it against then-Roma goalkeeper and future Liverpool legend Alisson makes it even more impressive.

7 – Manchester City (A), April 2018

In the previous round of that Champions League campaign, Klopp’s men had surged to a 3-0 first-leg win over City at Anfield.

Halfway through the return game, though, they are 1-0 behind – and fortunate to not be in greater trouble given the ferocity of their opponent’s football.

But 11 minutes into the second period at Etihad Stadium, Salah’s cool head releases the pressure valve.

From a slick Reds attack, Sadio Mane is foiled in the box by Ederson and the ball rolls free to Salah, who takes one touch to set himself and another to dink it over the flailing City defence into the net.

Arms outstretched in front of a bouncing away section, he knows he has ended the tie.

6 – Galatasaray (H), March 2026

Entering in sixth place is the last of Salah’s record-breaking goals tally in European competition for Liverpool.

Nobody in history can better his haul of 53 for the club, with 48 of those netted in the Champions League and five in the Europa League.

No.53 is, yet again, a touch of typical Salah, as he exchanges the ball crisply with Florian Wirtz at the edge of the box and sweeps an unerring finish inside the left-hand post.

A thump of the chest in front of an adoring Kop follows.

The strike is extra-special for being the 50th in the Champions League proper (excluding qualifiers) of Salah’s career overall – the first African player to bring up that milestone.

5 – Manchester City (H), January 2018

Each of the Reds’ goals in this barnstorming 4-3 Premier League defeat of eventual champions City at Anfield are sublime in their own way.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Roberto Firmino and Mane each hit the target prior to Salah adding his name to the scoresheet.

Where theirs are respectively a clinical low drive, a cheeky chip and a thunderous blast, Salah’s is a piece of opportunism from distance.

A misplaced clearance by the goalkeeper presents the ball to the forward just outside the centre-circle with the City net exposed.

After an initial touch to get the ball under control, with one more kick Salah lofts it straight over the retreating Ederson and across the line.

4 – Manchester City (H), October 2022

Pep Guardiola falls to his knees on the touchline before Salah has even reached the area.

This much-less-dramatic league clash with City is in goalless stalemate with 15 minutes remaining on the clock at Anfield.

Like he did against United in 2020, Alisson spots a chance to spring Salah with a long kick – and the Egyptian picks up the baton by controlling the pass and rolling Joao Cancelo to go one-on-one.

City boss Guardiola knows exactly what is coming.

Salah bounds through to the space, opens up his body and tucks the ball into the bottom left corner to elate the Kop yet again.

3 – Arsenal (H), August 2017

Blink and you miss this scorching Salah moment against Arsenal.

Under the late-summer sunshine, the visitors have put every man in the Reds’ half to attack a corner kick that is cleared outside the area to the deepest of those, Hector Bellerin.

Liverpool’s No.11 launches an immediate press and pounces on Bellerin’s touch to steal the ball with his head.

Now, two-thirds of completely open green pitch separate himself and the Gunners goalkeeper.

In a matter of seconds, Salah has covered that distance, sized up his angles and planted a composed finish home.

2 – Chelsea (H), April 2019

“If there was no net, the ball would still be flying,” said Klopp, seven years after this stupendous strike. “That was the perfect shot.”

Amid a title tussle with City in which any dropped points are dangerous, Anfield is jubilant after Mane breaks the deadlock early in the second half of this challenge versus Chelsea.

The noise levels have yet to subside from those celebrations when the ball is played to Salah wide in the right channel.

Instant control and a touch infield suddenly fashion space for an ambitious drive on a diagonal almost 25 yards from the target.

A small bobble of the ball aids the sweetest of connections with Salah’s left boot, the blast whistling magnificently into the far corner and causing jaws to drop.

1 – Manchester City (H), October 2021

This is a ‘Where were you?’ goal.

It kicks off what is perhaps Salah’s greatest individual month at Liverpool – featuring seven goals and four assists in five games, including an Old Trafford hat-trick.

Fifteen minutes from the end of an elite-standard league meeting with City, he receives possession with his back to goal, outside the box and with three markers in close proximity. Four other opponents are just a sprint away.

A mix of strength and shimmying takes those first three out of action. A chopped dribble as he moves into the area leaves two more defenders helpless.

From nothing, he has evaded half of City’s outfielders to make a shooting chance.

Somehow retaining his balance, Salah rifles his finish unstoppably inside the far post.

It’s genius in football form.
