Mohamed Salah etched his name further into Premier League history on Saturday night with an assist that saw him claim the record for most goal contributions at a single venue.

The Egyptian's challenging campaign continued as he failed to find the net himself, but he set up a team-mate as the Reds thrashed Newcastle to end a five-match winless streak in the league.

His tally at Anfield now stands at 107 goals and 45 assists - a combined total of 152. This puts him ahead of Wayne Rooney, who managed 151 at Old Trafford, comprising 101 goals for Manchester United. Thierry Henry's achievements at Highbury once saw him top the list. Like Rooney, he accumulated 151 goal involvements, made up of 114 goals and 37 assists.

Salah has now distinguished himself as he adds yet another record in England's top division. He has been prolific throughout much of his spell with the Reds, particularly at their Merseyside home, and now holds a milestone that appears likely to endure for some time, reports the Mirror.

The Egyptian's future at Anfield beyond this season remains unclear, despite penning a lucrative new contract less than a year ago.

His performances have declined - he's yet to reach double figures and is on track to post his poorest goalscoring return at the club - and his age is increasingly being cited as a concern.

Salah himself did little to silence speculation about his future when he launched a scathing attack following a draw at Leeds in December.

He claimed the club had "thrown him under the bus" and that he had no relationship with Arne Slot, who had been leaving the forward on the bench.

Liverpool, who suffered a late defeat at Bournemouth the previous week, must have feared that dismal form would persist after Anthony Gordon gave Newcastle the lead.

However, that advantage lasted just five minutes before Hugo Ekitike sparked the comeback, securing the Reds' first victory after conceding first since April.

Slot said: "I think so many times we've come back from going behind and so many times we showed mentality, but unfortunately – like last week – we conceded in the end.

"So, I think not only coming back from [going behind] and winning it, I think it's the whole way we won it. The way we defended in our box, the desire we had to attack the other box."
