"Salah began the afternoon just one goal shy of the legendary Steven Gerrard's Premier League tally in this fixture. The moment of history arrived in the 30th minute when Cody Gakpo pounced on a loose ball and delivered a perfectly weighted assist."
"The goal was Salah's ninth in the Merseyside derby, drawing him level with Gerrard as Liverpool's joint-top scoring player in the Premier League era of this fixture."
"Since joining from AS Roma in 2017, the No. 11 has rewritten the standards for modern forwards, tallying 255 goals in over 430 appearances, breaking a ridiculous amount of records, both club and otherwise."
"By matching Gerrard's derby record in his final attempt, Salah further cements his status as one of the greatest to ever wear the red shirt."
Mohamed Salah scored in the first half against Everton, equaling Steven Gerrard's record for most goals in the Merseyside derby. Salah's goal, his ninth in this fixture, came from a well-placed assist by Cody Gakpo. Although Everton equalized later, Salah's contribution was pivotal in leading to Virgil van Dijk's winning goal. Salah's departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season marks the end of a significant era, during which he scored 255 goals and won multiple titles.
