Mohamed Salah (29, Egypt) scored 20 points for four consecutive seasons. This is the first Liverpool player since the 1992-93 season when the first division of English professional football was renamed to the Premier League (EPL). Even before the Premier League, it has been 34 years since Ian Rush (60, England).
Salah led Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over West Ham United by scoring the 20th and 21st goals in seasons including the cup competition in the 2020-21 EPL round 21 away game on the 1st (Korean time). It has scored 44, 27, 23 and 21 goals since the 2017-18 season.
In the last four seasons, Salah played a vital role in winning Liverpool’s EPL, the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League and Super Cup, and the International Football Federation (FIFA) Club World Cup with 182 matches, 115 points and 45 assists.

During that period, Salah won the African Football Federation (CAF) Player of the Year Award and EPL Scorer twice, and personally enjoyed several honors, including the Premier League MVP and the American magazine Time’s ‘100 Most Influential People in the World’.
Salah is taking the lead this season with 15 goals in 20 EPL games, overtaking Son Heung-min and Harry Kane (12 goals), and is challenging the third Premier League scorer.
