Salah's goal in the Arsenal-Liverpool summit enters him into the list of historical records

Egyptian star Mohamed Salah (32 years old) led his team Liverpool to a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, in the top match of the ninth round of the English Premier League, on Sunday evening, in the match that was held at the Emirates Stadium.

Englishman Bukayo Saka and Spaniard Mikel Merino scored the home team's goals, while Dutchman Virgil van Dijk scored the visitors' first goal. Salah was able to equalize the score, nine minutes before the end of the match, to become the historical scorer in Liverpool's matches against Arsenal with 11 goals, equal to the Brazilian Roberto Firmino, the former "Reds" star, and reach goal number 163, to equal the English legend, Robbie Fowler (in eighth place), in the list of historical scorers in the Premier League competition.

Liverpool have come back from afar, and they are going through their best times, as their new coach, the Dutchman Arne Slot, is working quietly, without much of a spotlight, and successfully, as his team has achieved 11 victories out of 13 matches in various competitions, and is performing brilliantly under the leadership of their Egyptian top scorer, Mohamed Salah (six goals), and despite that they failed to win against Arsenal.

Arsenal, fourth (18 points), drew with the runner-up (22 points), after shaking off the dust of their first defeat this season, by beating visiting Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine by a single goal in the Champions League, and succeeded in achieving a positive result against the Reds, who had only lost one match before this match, led by Slot, who replaced the German Jurgen Klopp.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was without his most prominent players, French centre-back William Saliba, who was suspended after being sent off against Bournemouth, as well as Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard due to an ankle injury, in addition to the absence of Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori and Dutch defender Jurrien Timber.
