The 38th round Premier League match between Liverpool and Brentford was notable for several reasons. Mohamed Salah celebrated a significant milestone in his career, simultaneously marking his final appearance at Anfield in the Liverpool jersey.
The Egyptian forward made his 300th Premier League appearance, becoming only the second African player in history to achieve this feat. Previously, former defender Kolo Touré was the only other African to reach this landmark, having played 304 Premier League matches.
Out of his 300 Premier League appearances, Salah played 6 for Chelsea and 294 for Liverpool, where he earned his status as a modern-day club legend. The occasion was further heightened by the fact that this match also served as a farewell for Andrew Robertson, another key player in Liverpool’s recent success.
