Salah Shines: Liverpool's FA Cup Heroics
15 Feb
Summary
- Salah scored and assisted in FA Cup win.
- His goal contribution record outpaces rivals.
- Kerkez and Jones also impressed for Liverpool.

Mohamed Salah showcased a resurgent performance, contributing a goal and an assist as Liverpool secured an FA Cup fourth-round triumph against Brighton & Hove Albion. This display marks his 15th combined goal and assist in a single game for Liverpool since the start of the 2025-26 season, a feat unmatched by any other Premier League player in that period. Despite missing over a month due to the Africa Cup of Nations, Salah's passing for Dominik Szoboszlai's goal places him second only to Bruno Fernandes in assists for Premier League clubs since mid-December.
Liverpool's victory also highlighted strong performances from other players. Left-back Milos Kerkez, a £45 million signing, provided an assist for Curtis Jones, who deputized effectively at right-back due to injuries. Szoboszlai further extended Liverpool's lead with a well-taken goal, marking his 10th of the campaign. Manager Arne Slot praised Salah's contributions, emphasizing his value both offensively and defensively, and noted the team's growing ability to maintain high intensity over multiple games, suggesting a bright future for the club.
