<p>The Egyptian superstar was on target again as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-premier-league-champions-how-arne-slot-pulled-off-impossible-job-jurgen-klopp-successor/blt345e31f2394da3d2" target="_blank">Reds confirmed their coronation as the kings of English football</a> with a 5-1 mauling of Tottenham at Anfield. He has 28 top-flight efforts to his name this term, pulling him six clear of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-top-scorers-2024-25/blt196a7a5819d3d66c" target="_blank">the Golden Boot race</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Salah has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/liverpool-all-time-top-scorers/blt214ffd127045d333" target="_blank">posted his best return across all competitions since his debut campaign on Merseyside</a>, when he registered 44 efforts, and credits Arne Slot with helping to bring the best out of him - with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arne-slot-proud-to-be-part-of-the-history-of-liverpool-unbelievable-premier-league-title-success/blt56fd64dbb256fa07" target="_blank">Dutch coach having inherited the managerial reins from Klopp last summer</a>.</p>

Now I don't have to defend much. The tactics are quite different. I said 'as long as you rest me defensively I will provide offensively', so I am glad that I did. 
</p><p>“He listened a lot and you can see the numbers. When you play in the Premier League you have to defend but I said that I can gamble and somehow I can make a difference. My number of assists shows that you can create chances as well.”</p>

He added on emulating efforts from 2020, when Covid restrictions forced the Reds to celebrate in front of empty stands: “This is 100% better than last time, especially with the fans.
