Salah breaks Egypt's all-time record with a brace

Bangla Press Desk:  Mohamed Salah is the greatest player in the history of Egyptian football. He has now also become Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer. On Friday, during an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Egypt defeated Malawi 5–0, with the former Liverpool forward scoring twice in the match.
He netted his first goal in the 84th minute, equaling the record previously held by former coach Hossam Hassan. Then, in stoppage time, he scored his 70th goal—a penalty executed in the 'Panenka' style—setting a new record.

Salah made his national team debut in 2011 and has since earned 123 caps. With his latest performance, he has claimed the Egyptian record.
Currently, Salah plays for the Turkish club Trabzonspor. This season, he has scored 9 goals in 11 league appearances. He is the first player to have been involved in 10 goals within his first seven matches in the Turkish Süper Lig—a feat unmatched by anyone since such records began being tracked in the 2014–15 season.

During his nine-year tenure at Liverpool, Salah became the club’s all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League, tallying 191 goals. He also holds the record for the highest number of goal contributions (goals and assists combined) for a single club in the Premier League, with 277.
