Possibly the easiest choice of all time for a player’s inclusion in a statistical team of the season, Salah enjoyed one of the finest individual seasons in Premier League history. Many of his astonishing records from 24-25 may not be beaten for many years.
The Egyptian was involved in 47 Premier League goals (29 goals, 18 assists), a record in a 38-game campaign to overtake the 44 goal and assist seasons of Thierry Henry in 2002-03 and Erling Haaland in 2022-23.
Including 42-game seasons, Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer had 34 goals and 13 assists in 93-94 and 94-95 respectively, which Salah matched with his equaliser against Crystal Palace on the final day.
With these goals and assists totals, it’s little surprise that Salah topped the charts outright for both metrics in 24-25, only the third time a player has achieved that, along with Cole in 93-94 and Harry Kane in 20-21.
Salah scored and assisted in 11 different Premier League games this season, four more than any other player has done so in a season. Across Europe’s big five leagues, it was the most since Lionel Messi did so 11 times in 14-15 for Barcelona.
Sixteen of Salah’s 29 Premier League goals were scored away from home, a joint record, while he also added 11 away assists, again a joint record.
Salah’s 27 is the most goals and assists combined away from home in one season.
Although Salah did not beat topple the all-time assist record in a season of 20, all 18 of his assists came from open play – that’s the second most behind Thierry Henry in 02-03 (20).
Salah was also the Premier League’s most creative player in open play, making 86 chances and most big chances (27) for his team-mates. Salah had the most shots (130), registered the best xG (25.4) and had the most touches in the opposition box (394).
