Premier League 100 club: Mohamed Salah closes in on top 20

By , Editor
Mohamed Salah closes in on the top 20 all-time Premier League scorers courtesy of his record-equalling strike against Newcastle United.

Mohamed Salah scored his 15th Premier League goal of the season to help Liverpool beat Newcastle United at Anfield on Thursday night.

The winger put his side ahead midway through the first half to equal Jamie Vardy's record of either scoring or assisting in 15 successive Premier League games.

The goal - Salah's 112th in the English top flight - sees him move clear of Dion Dublin in the all-time standings, now only one goal behind Arsenal legend Ian Wright and four adrift of Romelu Lukaku in the top 20.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the new standings in the Premier League 100 club after Salah's latest exploits.
