Mohamed Salah has done it again.
The Egyptian King added yet another chapter to his incredible Premier League legacy by securing the 2024–25 Golden Boot with an impressive tally of 29 goals in 38 appearances. But this wasn’t just any win it marked his fourth Golden Boot, putting him on par with Premier League legend Thierry Henry for the most in the competition’s history.
As Liverpool celebrated a thrilling campaign under new manager Arne Slot, it was Mohamed Salah who led the charge, proving once again why he remains one of the game’s most lethal forwards.
A Season of Brilliance
Liverpool’s title-winning campaign was full of standout moments, but none more consistent than the performances of their No.11. Week after week, Mohamed Salah delivered when it mattered most. His 29-goal haul came against a wide variety of opponents and in every type of situation early openers, last-minute winners, and goals that broke deadlocks.
Whether playing through the middle or from his usual right flank, Salah’s sharp movement, clinical finishing, and tactical intelligence made him a nightmare for defenders. He scored six braces this season and was rarely out of the conversation for Man of the Match honors.
Outshining the Best
This year’s race for the Golden Boot was a heated one. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland pushed hard, scoring 23 and 22 goals respectively. But Salah’s consistency and durability set him apart.
In fact, Mohamed Salah’s ability to stay fit and feature in all 38 league matches proved crucial. At 32, he showed no signs of slowing down, combining experience with hunger in a way few players can manage. In key games like the dramatic win at the Etihad or the dominant display against Manchester United Salah’s goals often tipped the scales.
Historic Company: Matching Thierry Henry
By winning the Golden Boot for a fourth time, Mohamed Salah now stands shoulder to shoulder with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry previously the only player to reach that milestone.
Here’s a quick look at Salah’s Golden Boot wins:
- 2017–18: 32 goals (record for a 38-game season)
- 2018–19: 22 goals (shared with Mane and Aubameyang)
- 2021–22: 23 goals (shared with Son Heung-min)
- 2024–25: 29 goals
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the gap between his first and most recent win. It’s a testament to his longevity, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
Liverpool’s Golden Legacy
Mohamed Salah’s win also adds to Liverpool’s rich Golden Boot history. With this, a Liverpool player has now won the Premier League Golden Boot eight times the most by any club.
The Reds’ list of Golden Boot winners includes:
- Michael Owen – 1997–98, 1998–99
- Luis Suarez – 2013–14
- Mohamed Salah – 2017–18, 2018–19, 2021–22, 2024–25
It’s an elite list, and Salah’s four wins clearly stand out. The impact he’s had at Anfield since joining from AS Roma in 2017 cannot be overstated. He’s become a symbol of Liverpool’s modern era a talisman who delivers time and time again.
Playmaker Too? Salah’s Double Crown
As if winning the Golden Boot wasn’t enough, Mohamed Salah also claimed his second Premier League Playmaker Award for topping the assist charts with 18 assists. Yes, 18.
This rare double (top goalscorer and top assist provider in a single season) underscores how well-rounded Salah’s game has become. It’s no longer just about finishing chances; he’s dropping deeper, linking play, and setting up his teammates with clever passes, crosses, and through balls.
Few players in Premier League history have had this kind of dual impact.
A Fitting End to a Title-Winning Season
Salah’s achievements capped off a dream campaign for Arne Slot’s Liverpool, who lifted the Premier League trophy after holding off competition from Arsenal and Manchester City.
In their final match of the season a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield Salah was honored on the pitch after full-time, receiving both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award in front of a roaring home crowd. The Kop belted out his song one more time, knowing they had witnessed greatness yet again.
Chasing Premier League Immortality
With this season’s goals, Mohamed Salah now ranks fifth on the all-time Premier League scorers list. He’s passed legends like Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard, and is within reach of Andy Cole and Sergio Aguero.
Here’s where he stands now:
- Alan Shearer – 260
- Harry Kane – 213
- Wayne Rooney – 208
- Andy Cole – 187
- Mohamed Salah – 165 (and counting)
If he stays in the league for another couple of years, the top three isn’t out of reach. That’s the level we’re talking about Premier League royalty.
What’s Next for Salah?
There’s been speculation about Mohamed Salah’s future, especially with interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. But after a season like this, Liverpool fans will be hoping he sticks around to lead the line into the UEFA Champions League next season.
Slot clearly values him, and with a new-look squad around him, Salah’s role could evolve further possibly playing more centrally or even dropping into a deeper playmaking role. But one thing’s for sure: as long as he’s on the pitch, he’s going to contribute.
Final Thoughts: A Legend Cemented
Mohamed Salah’s fourth Premier League Golden Boot isn’t just another personal milestone it’s a statement. A statement that he’s not finished, that he’s still among the very best, and that his influence on English football is far from over.
With a league title, the Golden Boot, the Playmaker Award, and a whole season of unforgettable moments under his belt, Salah’s 2024–25 campaign will go down in history. And knowing him, he’s already thinking about how to top it next year.
