Mohamed Salah has now made 100 appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League, scoring 70 goals and assisting 29 in the process with several of those goals likely to live long in the memory of the Liverpool fans. The former Chelsea man has become one of the best players in the world at Liverpool as well as one of the most potent goalscorers.

The Egyptian, with 70 goals, has scored the most goals in his first 100 Premier League appearances for the Reds, outscoring the likes of Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres to write his name in the record books. Salah is also the first-ever Liverpool player to score 20 or more goals in three consecutive seasons since Michael Owen which shows just how consistent the Egyptian has been.

With that being said, here are the top 5 Mohamed Salah goals in the Premier League for Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Everton 2017 (1-1)

Throughout the 2017/18 Premier League season, Salah's debut season at Liverpool, the Egyptian scored a record 32 Premier League goals and 44 in all competitions. But out of all those 32 goals, Salah's strike in the Merseyside derby will be one of a select few forever remembered by fans all over the world.

The goal came in classic Salah style as he spun his man before curling an effort beyond the outstretched Jordan Pickford and into the top corner of the net to give Liverpool the lead. And although the game ended level after a Wayne Rooney equaliser, the Salah goal will always be remembered as a great Merseyside derby goal. The goal ended up winning the 2018 Puskas award, beating Gareth Bale's and Cristiano Ronaldo's overhead kicks. The goal was one of many superb Salah strikes of the 2017/18 Premier League season, a season that the Egyptian announced himself as one of the best finishers around.

Salah's individual effort was his second of the night in the famous 2-2 draw at Anfield against Spurs.

It was yet another game under the lights of Anfield in the 2017/18 season in which Salah netted yet another delightful and memorable goal with the finish, this time, coming against Tottenham Hotspurs. It was another classic Salah goal which featured a show of strength before spinning his man, taking on another two, before slotting home past Hugo Lloris in the Spurs net. The goal was a brilliant individual effort to give Liverpool what they thought was the winning goal in the 91st minute only for Spurs to find the reply from the spot to end the scores level in what was a game of the season contender at Anfield, featuring an incredible Salah goal.

To this day, the goal is remembered as one of Salah's best and perhaps the most unique as we see the Egyptian take the ball past 3 or 4 Spurs players before finishing at the seemingly impossible angle to give the Reds the lead on the night.

Liverpool vs Manchester City 2018 (4-3)

Salah's goal from distance capped off an incredible 4-3 win for Liverpool.

Going into the game against Manchester City in 2018, the visitors were yet to lose a game and on course for an invincible season. However, with the Liverpool front three all on top form, this run would soon come to a halt at Anfield. The Reds burst into a 4-1 lead in the second half to not only end Manchester City's unbeaten run but completely obliterate it.

City attempted to fight back with two goals of their own but it was too late for the visitors who had been exposed by Salah and co. Salah's goal and Liverpool's 4th ended up being the winner on the night. The goal came when a poor Ederson clearance found the feet of the Egyptian who found the back of the open net from distance with ease to put the Reds out of sight.

The game was the start of the rivalry we see today between Manchester City and Liverpool as the Reds staked their claim for the Premier League title for the next season by ending Manchester City's unbeaten run in stunning style.

Not only did Liverpool win 5-0 in 2018 against Watford but Salah scored 4 goals and his first Liverpool hat-trick in the process. The game will forever be known as the Salah show as the Egyptian had the Watford defenders on strings in the emphatic win.

The first goal came in some style for Salah who sat down the Watford defender before slotting the ball home. The second came in an easier fashion, however, when a Robertson cross found the unmarked Egyptian who converted a simple tap in for his second of the night.

It was the third goal to complete the hattrick which summed up Salah's incredible debut season. The former Chelsea man seemed to have the entire Watford backline surrounding him before somehow finding the finish, leaving Watford bemused and the Liverpool fans amazed by the Egyptian's brilliance. Salah then netted the fourth and in doing so, ended the scoring for the night after tapping home the rebound of Danny Ings' strike almost apologetically to round off a fantastic performance.

Liverpool vs Chelsea 2019 (2-0)

The goal, as well as the celebration, will always be remembered as an iconic Mohamed Salah moment.
