Alan Shearer, one of football's most revered strikers, showered praise on Mohamed Salah, hailing him as "a great of the Premier League" after the Egyptian superstar led Liverpool to a 2-1 triumph over Brighton at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.

The match started on a rocky note for the Reds, as Brighton’s Ferdi Kadioglu found the net first, putting Liverpool on the back foot. However, the tide turned in the second half when Cody Gakpo equalized, setting the stage for Salah's dramatic intervention just three minutes later. With a powerful and precision-driven strike into the top left corner, Salah secured an impressive win for his team.

This goal marked a remarkable milestone in Salah's career, bringing his total to 164 goals in the Premier League. With this achievement, he edged past Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler to claim eighth place in the all-time top scorers list. Shearer couldn't contain his admiration for Salah's lethal performance, questioning, "Can you imagine scoring that many goals?" His appreciation echoed throughout the football community as he expressed how Salah has consistently been a phenomenal player, regardless of the future uncertainty surrounding his contract with Liverpool.

Fellow pundit Ian Wright also praised Salah's knack for stepping up when it matters most, pointing out that even in a match where Salah might seem quiet, his presence is always impactful. "You think when the game comes down to it, he's probably going to show his face, and that’s exactly what he did," Wright remarked.

Salah's exceptional strike was labelled a "special" moment by Brighton manager Arne Slot, who recognized it as a hallmark of Salah's prowess. "It's not the first and not the last time he will score from that position," Slot remarked, highlighting the forward's consistency in delivering under pressure.

The crucial win propelled Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table, maintaining a narrow two-point lead over their rivals, Manchester City, who suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth. In yet another twist in the title race, Arsenal also faltered, going down 1-0 to Newcastle, further opening the door for Liverpool to maintain their grip on the championship.

As discussions regarding Salah's future continue, one thing is painfully clear: he remains one of the finest players in Premier League history and continues to rewrite the record books. Don't miss the upcoming games, as Salah and Liverpool look to extend their winning streak!
