Liverpool‘s Mohamed Salah has drawn level with Arsenal legend Ian Wright in the all-time Premier League scoring ranks courtesy of his goal against Chelsea this afternoon.

The Egyptian winger latched on to Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s pass before beating Marcos Alonso and firing the ball past Edouard Mendy at the near post for his 150th goal in English football.

Of those 150 goals, 113 have now come in the Premier League, drawing Salah level with Wright and seeing him close in on the top 20.

Sadio Mane was also on the scoresheet for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, moving to within one goal of Didier Drogba and drawing back level with the 100 club’s newest member Raheem Sterling.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the latest standings in the 100 club following Sunday’s action.
