Alan Shearer (124 games), Harry Kane (141 games), Sergio Aguero (147 games) and Thierry Henry (160 games) were those to reach 100 goals quicker.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 29-year-old brought up his 99th goal in the English top flight just before the international break against Chelsea, whom he scored his first for in a 6-0 London derby win over Arsenal in March 2014, but he has firmly gone on to establish his elite status on Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>And it is another former Chelsea forward&#8217;s record he is currently closing in on. Drogba, who represented the Blues between 2004 and 2012 (including a second stint in 2014\/15), registered 104 goals during his trophy-laden stint at Stamford Bridge, becoming the first African centurion in the Premier League as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Salah has joined the Ivory Coast immortal in that exclusive, esteemed club, and he is now only four goals shy of drawing level with him as the most-prolific African in Premier League history, and five away from surpassing him as the continent&#8217;s record goal-getter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shearer, Rooney, Cole, Ag\u00fcero, Lampard, Henry, Kane, Fowler, Defoe, Owen, Ferdinand, Sheringham, Van Persie, Hasselbaink, Keane, Anelka, Yorke, Gerrard, Vardy, Lukaku, Wright, Dublin, Heskey, Giggs, Crouch, Scholes, Bent, Drogba, Le Tissier&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And now, Mohamed Salah. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lmOvgfnTRc\">pic.twitter.com\/lmOvgfnTRc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1437092971694931971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Gary Lineker led the eulogies for Liverpool&#8217;s talisman, tweeting that, together with Alexander-Arnold, the duo are &#8220;genuinely world class footballers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-0 result in West Yorkshire ensures Jurgen Klopp&#8217;s men remain unbeaten this season as the Reds move third in the table and level on points with current Premier League pace-setters Manchester United, as well as European champions Chelsea in second.<\/p>\n<p>In a game that often oscillated between mesmerising and madness, Liverpool overwhelmingly dominated Marcelo Bielsa&#8217;s men, as they registered 30 shots (their most since December 2018) and enjoyed the lion&#8217;s share of possession, with the hosts struggling to stamp their authority on proceedings.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yet another goal for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MoSalah?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MoSalah<\/a>.
