Arne Slot has hailed the unbelievable achievement of Mohamed Salah after the forward scored his 250th goal for Liverpool.
Salah struck the opener as Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday night. The goal kickstarted a much-needed win for the champions, who snapped their losing run at Anfield.
It was a milestone moment for Salah, who became just the third player in history to reach 250 goals for the Reds. Only Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) have previously passed that milestone and Slot was keen to celebrate a ‘special’ moment for Salah.
“That’s huge. That’s almost unbelievable if you score 250 goals for one club. If you score 250 goals, it’s already unbelievable – let alone for one club. You don’t see this that much in football anymore,” the Liverpool manager said at his post-match press conference.

“And I think apart from the goal he scored tonight, he had a very good performance. Because when we had to play long, we played mainly long towards him and he could hold the ball, so because of that the rest of the team could come to him and we could keep playing. And what I also liked was that he didn’t only do his offensive work really well, but he helped the team out defensively as well.
“I think after we scored the 1-0, he was helping Virgil [van Dijk], I think, somewhere around the halfway line. This combination of things led to the fact that I liked his performance tonight. And, of course, it’s special for him to score his 250th. For him to score is not even that special, because that’s what we also know he will always do.”
