Mo Salah’s late strike for Liverpool against Bournemouth on Friday saw him join Andrew Cole in fourth place on the Premier League’s all-time top scorers list.
The Egyptian netted in stoppage time to seal a thrilling 4-2 victory at Anfield on the opening night of the 2025-26 campaign. Federico Chiesa had earlier restored Liverpool’s lead in the 88th minute before Salah’s clinical finish made sure of the points.

It was also a memorable night for new signing Hugo Ekitike, who scored on his competitive debut. Arne Slot’s side, however, had to recover after letting a 2-0 lead slip during an end-to-end contest.
Salah’s goal was the 187th of his Premier League career, bringing him level with Manchester United legend Andy Cole. Only Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213) and record-holder Alan Shearer (260) now sit above him in the rankings.
