The striker put his side 2-1 ahead in the second half to overtake Roger Hunt as the quickest Red to make his century.

Mohamed Salah became the fastest Liverpool player ever to reach 100 league goals on Saturday as he put his side ahead against Brentford.

The Egypt international has become a firm favourite at Anfield since arriving at the club from Roma in 2017. 

And he came through once more to help his side out of a tight situation, with a spot at the top of the Premier League on the line.

Salah went into Saturday's game with the chance to reclaim his position at the top of the Premier League scoring charts, after being overtaken earlier in the day by Jamie Vardy and Michail Antonio. 

His goal finally arrived in the 54th minute, after Diogo Jota had earlier cancelled out an early strike from the hosts by way of Ethan Pinnock. 

It brought him up to five for the season in the league so far, and also secured him a piece of Liverpool history. 

His century arrived in just 151 games, quicker than any other Reds player. 

Club legend Roger Hunt was the previous record-holder, having made 100 in 152 appearances, while fellow sharp-shooter Ian Rush needed 168 outings to reach the mark. 

He is also only one of four Liverpool players to have netted 100 times in the Premier League, alongside Michael Owen, Robbie Fowler and Steven Gerrard, and also entered the club's list of top 10 all-time scorers with this latest strike. 

Only six men, meanwhile, have reached their century in the Premier League under just one manager: Salah, who has played under Jurgen Klopp for his entire Reds career; Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United trio Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes; and Thierry Henry, who hit 175 with Arsene Wenger on the bench.
