Salah has now racked up an incredible 51 combined goals and assists this season across all competitions.
He has now reached 25 goals and 16 assists in the Premier League alone – with 11 top-flight games still to go.
The remarkable season comes as the 32-year-old’s contract future at Anfield remains uncertain.
But fans were left in awe as he put in a world-class performance to shatter SIX more records in a single evening.
Salah swept in Liverpool’s opener at Eastlands, finding the top corner as City’s defenders gave him far too much space from an early set-piece.
He later laid on the second goal for Dominik Szoboszlai, cutting in from the left before the Hungarian lashed past Ederson.
Salah’s goal and assist make him the first player in Premier League history to register over 40 goal involvements in TWO different seasons, per Squawka.
He is also the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to be directly involved in 50 goals across all competitions this season.

Salah has now scored AND assisted in 11 different Premier League games this season.
That’s the most since a certain Lionel Messi achieved the same feat for Barcelona in 2014/15.
Former England midfielder Steve McManaman had long held the assist record at Anfield, grabbing 15 in the 1995/96 season.
But Salah has now taken that record as well, with his 16 assists this season more than any other Liverpool player ever in Premier League history.
And Salah’s record-breaking day didn’t end there.
His goal and assist made him the first player in Premier League history to score AND assist in both games against the reigning champions in a single season.
To top things off, Salah is now the first player to score over 25 goals and register more than 15 assists in a single Prem season.
He is also closing in on Messi’s all-time greatest LaLiga season, which saw the Argentine rack up 61 combined goals and assists, per StatMuse.
Liverpool fans were also keen to compare Salah’s heroics with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the same age.
Aged 32 in 2019/20, Messi made 58 goal contributions during his time at Barcelona.
Ronaldo was at Real Madrid in 2017/18 when the same age, securing 52 goals and assists.
Salah has 51 contributions as of February 23 – and still has at least 14 games left to go.
