Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah continued his ascent up the Premier League all-time goalscoring charts with his strike against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The Egyptian capitalised on a calamitous goalkeeping error to cap off Liverpool's 3-0 win at Anfield, extending his prolific start to the season and becoming only the third player in the club's history to score in each of the opening five home league games of a campaign.
The 31-year-old now has 10 goals in 13 outings across all competitions this term, including eight in 10 league games to close in on the 150-goal mark in England's top flight.
Sunday's strike saw him move clear of former Forest, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur striker Teddy Sheringham in the all-time scoring list, with Les Ferdinand the next legendary name in his sights.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the latest standings in the Premier League 100 club following Salah's goal.
