Mohamed Salah has just done something which only four players in all of football have in the past decade

Mohamed Salah certainly did his part in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa as he scored the opener and assisted Trent Alexander-Arnold’s equaliser when the visitors were 2-1 down at Villa Park.

But unfortunately for Salah, his magnificence was not enough for Liverpool to take home the three points against Villa.

The Egyptian superstar will be frustrated as the Reds have dropped in two of their last three Premier League games against Everton and Aston Villa.

The worry for Mohamed Salah ✨in particular will be that in what could be his final season at Anfield, Liverpool let Arsenal firmly back into the title race.

Despite the Saudi Pro League chasing Salah, the 32-year-ol🦂d has not let the noise surrounding his future stray him away from his path — registering 24 goals and 15 assi♉sts in the league this season.

But it seems like the Cha♕mpions League winner’s teammates have taken their eye of the ball in recent weeks, having lost 1-0 to Plymouth Argyle in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup as well.

Mohamed Salah reaches 100 career assists in Aston Villa vs Liverpool

Salah could head to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season and in the event that he does decide his future lies in the Middle East, the♛ Liverpool legend would like to depart Merseyside with a bang.

Arne Slot will also bꩵe concerned by how the league leaders seem to be slipping away in rece🍌nt games.

But during Liverpool’s draw against Aston Villa, Salah made more hist♌ory by becoming the fourth player in Europe’s top five leagues to provide 100 assists — joining Lionel Messi (100), Thomas Mueller (116) and Kevin De Bruyne (117) — as per Sofascore.

The former Roma winger’s milestone assist w꧃as far from a vintage pass as he simply squared the ball to Alexander-Arnold, whose deflected shot from outside the box flew into the back of the net.

Salah has been tipped to win the Ballon d’Or and based on how h🐠e has fared this season, it is hard to argue against such claims.

Both as a creator and a goalscorer, tಞhe Liverpool legend has performed at a freakishly productive level and if the awꦍard had to be given today, he would be a deserved winner.

What Jack Grealish recently said about Salah as a playmaker is so true

Salah always had a final ball in him.

But in recent years, the Nagrig-born forward has become𒈔 an elite creator.

Jack Grealish hailed Salah’s playmaking ability and claimed that he has chaཧnged quite a lot from the player who was far more focused on scoring g🅠oals in the past.

“Bro, Salah’s ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚplaymaking over the last couple of years is incredible and I’m not saying he cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚouldn’t do it before but before, he was more like so direct, scoring and stuff. But he gets so many assists now.”

With 12 league games✤ to go, Salah is six assists away from setting the new record for the most any player has provided (20) in a season.

Aside♊ from winning the league, the decorated forward will have his sights set on Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures to set another unrivalled feat.
