Sports Brief looks at the five teams Salah has scored the most goals against via Transfermarkt.

Salah's favourite opponents

1. Manchester United

Salah has scored 13 times against the Red Devils and assisted four goals. His most prolific season was 2021/22 when he scored five goals against United, including a hat-trick at Old Trafford in the 5-0 win. Per Squawka, since the 2017/18 season, he has more yellow cards for removing his shirt at Anfield than United have goals.

2. Manchester City

The former Chelsea winger has a knack for scoring against big clubs. Manchester City are his next favourite opponent, with 11 goals and six assists against them. Last season, he scored the winner at Anfield via Alisson Becker’s assist.

3. West Ham

The Hammers have been a victim of the two-time African footballer of the year 11 times while he also chipped in four assists. He has goals in both home and away Premier League fixtures three times against the London club.

4. Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have conceded 11 goals against the Roma forward while he had assisted a teammate once against them. Two of his goals came for Basel in the Europa League, while the most important was in the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.

5. Arsenal

The Gunners have let in 10 goals from the winger, including the sixth goal during their 6-0 loss to Chelsea on Arsene Wenger's 1,000th game as manager. He has also assisted four times.

Salah set record against Man Utd

Sports Brief reported on Salah setting a unique record after scoring for Liverpool against Manchester United in the first half of their FA Cup encounter.

The goal gave the Reds the lead before half-time at Old Trafford. It was his fifth consecutive game with a goal on the ground, becoming the first player to do so.
