Mohamed Salah becomes Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer after Malawi brace

Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah has become Egypt’s all-time leading goalscorer after scoring twice in a 5-0 victory over Malawi during the November international break.

According to a report by Liverpool.com⁠, the 34-year-old moved past former striker Hossam Hassan to claim the record, taking his international tally to 70 goals in 123 appearances.

Salah’s landmark achievement came in style, with the forward first drawing level with Hassan before surpassing him with a Panenka penalty that beat the Malawi goalkeeper.

The emphatic victory also strengthened Egypt’s position in their AFCON qualifying campaign, leaving the Pharaohs top of their group with seven points from three matches, having recorded two wins and a draw.

The milestone adds another significant achievement to Salah’s remarkable career, which has been defined by numerous individual records and accomplishments at both club and international level.
