Mohamed Salah joins 100 club as Liverpool hammer Leeds in match marred by Harvey Elliott injury

The goal that broke the deadlock came via a familiar source, as Mohamed Salah was alert to Alexander-Arnold’s pullback to become the fifth fastest player in Premier League history to reach a century of goals, reaching the milestone from 162 appearances for Liverpool and Chelsea combined.

Mohamed Salah’s 100th Premier League goal helped Liverpool cruise to a 3-0 victory at 10-man Leeds United on Sunday (September 12) in a match that was marred by teenager Harvey Elliott suffering a dislocated ankle. After a lightning-fast start to the game, Salah became the 30th player to join the Premier League’s 100-goal club in the 20th minute, tapping home from close range from a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross. The visitors missed a host of chances to make it 2-0 in the first half, before Fabinho made one count early in the second period to put Juergen Klopp’s side on course for three points in West Yorkshire. There was a worrying sight later in the half as Elliott needed lengthy treatment on the pitch following a tackle from Leeds’ Pascal Struijk, with the hosts’ substitute shown a straight red card for the challenge by the referee. Elliott was taken off on a stretcher, receiving applause from Leeds fans as he was taken down the touchline. “It is his ankle. I heard it was dislocated and they couldn`t put it back and he is now in hospital,” Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said.
