Mo Salah Reaches New Penalty Milestone, Second Only to One Liverpool Legend
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


On Sunday, during Liverpool’s tight 2-1 victory at Anfield against Wolves, Mohamed Salah stepped up for his 50th penalty with the club, reinforcing his role as a crucial player from the spot. This achievement places him among the top three Liverpool players with the most penalties taken, trailing only behind legends like Steven Gerrard and Phil Neal.

Salah’s successful conversion pushed Liverpool to a 2-0 lead, ultimately securing the win. The first half was dominated by Arne Slot’s squad, but after the break, Wolves made a determined comeback attempt, with Matheus Cunha netting a consolation goal. Despite the pressure, Salah’s penalty was pivotal.

With this latest goal, Salah essentially equaled the penalty record of Liverpool legend Jan Molby (42 penalties), though Molby boasts an impressive 93.3% success rate compared to Salah’s 84%. Meanwhile, Gerrard stands out having converted 47 of his 57 attempts, securing a success rate of 82.7%.

For those keeping track, here’s a quick look at Liverpool’s most prolific penalty scorers:
1. Steven Gerrard – Netted 47 out of 57 (82.7%)
2. Jan Molby – Securely struck 42 of 45 (93.3%)
3. Mohamed Salah – Converted 42 out of 50 (84%)
4. Phil Neal – Scored 38 of 51 (74.5%)
5. Billy Liddell – Found the net 34 of 45 times (75.6%)

Since Salah joined Liverpool in 2017, the club has earned 72 penalties. Though Salah missed his inaugural attempt that year against Huddersfield, his overall impact has been undeniable. Of the remaining 22 penalties, James Milner has scored 10, while other teammates like Firmino, Fabinho, and recently Alexis Mac Allister have added to the tally.

Salah is also one of a select few from the club’s history to convert a penalty without needing a rebound during a cup final. Neal grabbed a similar honor alongside Salah in a European Cup final, although Xabi Alonso’s famous goal in Istanbul required following up a saved shot.

Some fans have debated over the years if Salah should remain Liverpool’s primary penalty taker, but his stats speak volumes. Given his record-breaking potential ever since joining from AS Roma, surpassing Gerrard’s penalty scoring record seems just a matter of time.

Interestingly, Salah is also closing in on the Premier League’s top penalty scorers list, making strides towards surpassing giants like Harry Kane. Currently matching Gerrard with 32 Premier League penalties, Salah is in pursuit of Kane (33), Lampard (43), and Shearer (56). At this pace, the future holds more record-breaking feats for Liverpool’s dynamic No. 11.
