Mohamed Salah breaks Premier League record with opening day goal as Liverpool beat Ipswich 2-0 today 16th August 2025, at Portmond Road, Ipswich. Salah scored Liverpool's second goal and teed up their first for Diogo Jota on the hour mark as Slot got his tenure at the club off to a winning start in the post-Jürgen Klopp era. Salah's goal in the 65th minute meant the Egyptian has now scored on the opening day of the season nine times, breaking the tie for the record with Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and Alan Shearer. The 31-year-old has previously scored on the first day of the Premier League against Watford, his Liverpool debut in a thrilling 3-all stalemate during the 2017/18 season, before going on to score goals against West Ham during the 2018 season when the Reds brushed away the hammers by 4 goals to nil. Salah again scored in Liverpool's 4-1 victory over Norwich City in the 2019 season.
