In three previous games versus Watford, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has scored six goals and registered two assists. Suffice it to say he really enjoys taking on the Hornets. So he’s playing the right team then in hopes of breaking a record that is currently within his grasp. If he achieves a scoring strike tonight, at home against Watford, he’ll be the fastest player to score 50 goals with one club in Premier League history (64 appearances).
“It would be nice to score number 50, number 51, and 52!” Salah is quoted in the Liverpool February 27 match day program. “I always push myself to score more goals and to perform better. Records are nice, but for me the Premier League is now the most important thing.”
