As Liverpool returned to winning ways with a 2-0 win against Wolves on Wednesday, Mohamed Salah reached a milestone that has only ever been hit by Ian Rush at the club.
While pundits such as Jose Enrique have even gone as far as to say that not only should the £34.3 million (Sky Sports) be benched but he should be sold as well, he managed to silence his doubters once again.
As Kostas Tsimikas drove with the ball down the left flank, Mohamed Salah kneed the ball into the back of the Wolves net to level a Liverpool milestone only previously set by Ian Rush.
Which Ian Rush milestone did Mohamed Salah equal for Liverpool vs Wolves?
The ‘amazing’ winger has made a habit of setting, matching and breaking records since his move to Anfield and once again, he has done the same as his side finally recovered from their recent strings of poor results.
As shared by Opta Joe’s Michael Reid, Mohamed Salah only became the 2nd player in Liverpool history after Ian Rush to score 20 goals in all competitions, after doubling his side’s lead against Wolves.
The man, the myth, the legend.

The consistency of Mohamed Salah often goes underappreciated
While there is no denying that the Egyptian forward has been far from his best this season, numbers such as this remind many that he still remains one of his club’s most consistent players.
Ever since signing for Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has been operating at an elite level season after season, and against Wolves, the record only reached by him and Ian Rush is an insight into this reality.
Yet, the former Roma wideman is often slated for perhaps not being as aesthetically pleasing to watch as his fellow compatriots or whether he even is a true winger.
Instead of harping on about rather insignificant subjects surrounding the prolific goalscorer, his incredible consistency should be celebrated.
