Salah’s goal was his 185th in the Premier League, nudging him past Manchester City icon Sergio Aguero in the list of top foreign scorers.
The Egyptian forward had equalled Aguero’s tally earlier this season with a brace against Southampton, but now stands alone at the summit for overseas players, Sky Sports reports.
Salah scored 183 of his Premier League goals for Liverpool, with the remaining two coming during his earlier stint with Chelsea in 2014. It took Salah just 297 appearances to set the new record.
Salah's amazing season continues for Liverpool
The goal against Spurs marked Salah’s 28th in the league this season and his 33rd across all competitions, capping off another extraordinary campaign, as captured by the BBC.
His contributions this term amount to a staggering 46 goal involvements, just one shy of the all-time single-season record held jointly by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.

His latest milestone adds to a glittering list of achievements since arriving at Anfield, including multiple Golden Boots, a Champions League title, and yet another Premier League crown.
Salah closes in on all-time greats
In addition to becoming the Premier League’s most prolific foreign player, Salah now ranks fifth on the all-time Premier League scoring list overall.
Only English legends Andy Cole (187), Wayne Rooney (208), Harry Kane (213), and Alan Shearer (260) are ahead of him.
Given Salah’s current form and fitness levels, it seems only a matter of time before he surpasses Cole and edges even closer to Rooney and Kane.
At just 31 years old, Salah has ample opportunity to continue climbing the rankings and further solidify his place among football’s greatest-ever goal scorers.
