Mohamed Salah was the hero for Liverpool on Friday evening as his brilliant solo goal inspired a crucial victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men against Southampton.
After a dismal start, the Reds fought back with a headed equaliser from Naby Keita, before Salah sprinted from his own half to find the back of the net and Jordan Henderson sealed the victory on the south coast.

Salah has become the quickest Liverpool player in history to reach 50 Premier League goals

But which former Reds are behind Salah on the list? talkSPORT.com has delved into the history of the Anfield club and here are the findings…
