Mo Salah helped himself to another Premier League record after scoring against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salah netted from the spot to put Liverpool 2-1 up against their bitter rivals after Matthijs de Ligt handled in the box. However, the Reds had to settle for a point after an entertaining 2-2 draw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A goalless first-half soon burst into life in the second period. Lisandro Martinez gave United a surprise lead when he fired home from close range after 52 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils joy was short-lived when Cody Gakpo equalised before Salah struck his customary goal. Amad Diallo scored with 10 minutes remaining to ensure a share of the spoils.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot’s side are now six points clear at the top of the table ahead of nearest rivals Arsenal. The Merseysiders still have a game in hand over the Gunners, too.<\/p>\n

From Salah’s perspective, he is now level with Thierry Henry for Premier League<\/a> goals (175). But the record he did clinch today is hugely impressive.<\/p>\n

31 – Mo Salah has 18 goals and 13 assists in 19 Premier League games this season, the most goal involvements ever by a player in their first 19 appearances of a campaign in the competition, overtaking Luis Su\u00e1rez's 30 in 2013-14 (23 goals, 7 assists).
