Mohamed Salah made history on Sunday following Liverpool’s thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Egyptian winger, who was in sensational form, scored twice, helping his side secure a dominant win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

With his brace, Salah set a new Premier League record as the first player in history to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas.

Salah now boasts 18 goals and 14 assists across all competitions for Liverpool, solidifying his place as one of the club’s key players.

After the match, Salah was asked about his record-breaking feat.

He downplayed the significance, stating, “Records? I just keep working hard!

We were quite good in front,” referring to his and his team’s performance in the match.

His humility was evident as he continued, “It’s great to achieve that at such a big club.

Wherever I am going to end my career I am happy about it.”

Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has urged the club to focus on strengthening their defence rather than pursuing a striker like Victor Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window.

Wright-Phillips, who made a name for himself at Chelsea during his playing days, believes the club should prioritize their defensive lineup to address the current issues at the back, especially after the departure of veteran Thiago Silva earlier this year.

Chelsea’s defensive woes have been evident this season, with the team conceding more goals than expected.

Wright-Phillips pointed out that the club’s issues are not related to scoring goals, something they have been able to do, but rather to the mistakes made in their defensive setup.

He stated, “They’re not struggling to score goals. That is not a problem for them right now.

The problem is they are conceding goals. If they can cut some of those mistakes, then again, we see a different Chelsea.”

While Wright-Phillips acknowledges the immense talent of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who has impressed in Serie A with Napoli, he feels that Chelsea’s immediate focus should be on strengthening their defence.

Osimhen had been linked with a move to Chelsea in the past, especially before he joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli in the summer.

His performances in Italy have created interest from various top European clubs, but Wright-Phillips believes that Chelsea’s current squad doesn’t need another striker right now.

Instead, he emphasized that the club’s attention should be on replacing the leadership and experience left by Thiago, Silva.

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has expressed concerns over the club’s decision to prioritize the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili over retaining their backup goalkeeper.

Caoimhin Kelleher believes he is the superior player. Aldridge, a former striker for the Reds, voiced his frustration at what he sees as a poor decision by the club’s management, especially given Kelleher’s consistent performances when called upon last season.

Kelleher, the Irish goalkeeper, was thrust into the spotlight due to regular injuries to first-choice keeper Alisson.

Despite being a backup, Kelleher impressed with his performances, making 26 appearances and keeping five clean sheets.

His contribution was significant, especially during moments when Alisson was sidelined, and many fans and pundits alike praised him for his solid displays between the posts.

However, despite these strong performances, Liverpool has already agreed to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, with the Georgian goalkeeper set to join the club in the summer of 2025.

Mamardashvili, widely regarded as a promising young talent, has caught the eye of several top European clubs with his performances in La Liga.

But Aldridge is not convinced that Mamardashvili will be an upgrade on Kelleher, arguing that the Irish goalkeeper is currently the better option.

Aldridge expressed his belief that Kelleher’s future at Liverpool could be in jeopardy with the arrival of Mamardashvili.

He suggested that the club could be making a mistake by pushing Kelleher out to make room for the Georgian keeper, who will likely be seen as a long-term replacement for Alisson.

Aldridge believes Kelleher is a valuable asset and should not be overlooked, as he has already shown his worth in critical moments during the season.

He told Sunday World, “I think Liverpool are making a mistake with their Ireland keeper.

Kelleher is better than Mamardashvili, who will arrive at Anfield next summer.”
