LIVERPOOL'S Mohamed Salah is once again battling for the Premier League’s Golden Boot award again this season after slotting home his 18th of the season in a 3-0 win over Arsenal in the early hours of Sunday.
Fabinho’s chip over the Arsenal backline put the Egyptian through before he cut in from the right to slide the ball past Leno in between the Gunners’ sticks.
The goal brings his total tally for Liverpool to 120 goals in 193 appearances for the club.
Salah, who bagged 44 goals in the 2017/18 season, is one of 17 players to have reached the century mark for the Reds.
He is currently the only active player to hit the milestone with Sadio Mane (93)and Roberto Firmino (84) with a chance of hitting the target.
Do you think he can eventually reach the top?
Let us take a look at who currently occupies the top-five positions in the all-time scorers list for Liverpool.
5. Steven Gerrard
Every Liverpool fan would know who Stevie G is as he is arguably Liverpool’s greatest ever player.
He spent most of his career at Anfield - nine years in the youth setup before joining the senior team in 1998.
Gerrard was made captain in 2003 and triumphed in the Champions League two years later with memorable night at Istanbul where they came back from three goals down against AC Milan to win on penalties.
He remains the only player to have scored in the finals of the League Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Cup and Champions League.
Gerrard tallied 186 goals in 710 appearances before leaving Liverpool in 2015 where he moved to the US to play in the MLS and hung up his boots the following year.
4. Billy Liddell
Lidell joined Liverpool in 1938 but only got to make his debut in 1946 because of World War II.
He went on to score 228 goals in 534 appearances for the Reds - winning the 1946-47 first division title in the process.
Lidell went on to become Liverpool’s captain from 1955 - 1958 before calling time on his career three years later.
3. Gordon Hodgson
He made his debut in 1925 and played in the club for 11 years. Hodgson found the back of the net 241 times in 377 appearances.
Most of his goals came in the First Division with 233 of them in 358 games.
2. Roger Hunt
Hunt joined Liverpool in 1958 and found the back of the net 286 goals in 492 appearances.
He helped Liverpool to two League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup and three Charity Shields before leaving in 1969.
Hunt was Liverpool's topscorer for eight years in a row from 1962-1969.
His League tally of 245 goals is yet to be bettered by any other Liverpool player.
1. Ian Rush
Every Liverpool fan probably already knows this as Ian Rush is the club’s all-time topscorer with 346 goals in 660 appearances.
Rush moved from Chester City to join the Reds in 1980 where he spent six years at before joining Juventus. He had a difficult time in Turin and rejoined Liverpool just two years later where he played till 1996.
