Mo Salah reaches another Liverpool milestone as 6-star Reds rout Sparta

Mohamed Salah wrote his name into Liverpool's record books once again as the Egyptian king became the first player in the club's 131-year history to score 20+ goals in seven consecutive seasons.

The remarkable milestone was reached as Jurgen Klopp's men sealed progression to the Europa League quarter-finals with a 6-1 second leg demolition of Sparta Prague at Anfield.

Having watched his side cruise to a 5-1 win in the Czech capital last week, Klopp was able to rotate for the return fixture with one eye on this weekend's crucial against Manchester United.

It was new signing Darwin Nunez who gave the Reds an early lead, rifling home from the edge of the area to open the floodgates.

Youngster Bobby Clark doubled the advantage with his first of the night before Salah’s historic goal to make it 3-0 after 10 minutes.

The one-way traffic continued after the interval as the impressive Cody Gakpo bagged his first and Dominik Szoboszlai joined in on the act with the fifth of the night before Gakpo wrapped it up for the night.

Despite the heavy result, Salah inevitably stole the headlines as his goal saw him register his 20th goal of the campaign across all competitions.

That took the 31-year-old beyond even Liverpool greats like Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres in terms of consistently prolific scoring seasons on Merseyside.

The Egyptian forward also assisted three other goals on the night to complete an excellent evening that saw Liverpool stroll into the last eight of the UEL.
