Mohamed Salah achieved a unique milestone with his goal for Liverpool against Bournemouth on Saturday, August 19 as he climbed up the charts in the club’s all-time top goal scorers’ list.

Liverpool went into the game looking for their first win of the season after a 1-1 draw against Chelsea in their opening league game.

Jurgen Klopp’s men got off to the worst possible start as they were behind just three minutes into the game as the visitors took a shock lead through Antoine Semenyo.

The Reds were however back in the game through Luis Diaz who flicked a low cross from Diogo Jota before expertly swiveling it to the back of the net.
