It went under the radar just how good Mohamed Salah was in the second half against Wolves. Very quickly, though, it is easy to see what his influence was, even if these days that is just the norm. For one thing, he created all three goals, even if the third might not be awarded as an assist for him thanks to the deflection making it an own-goal. In the first period, as everyone in a Liverpool shirt struggled, tried and failed to run at his man, Wolves defender Rayan Aït-Nouri.
He ranks first in the Premier League so far for big chances created and assists provided, while he is second for goal involvements and expected assists.
Only hit the 200 goal involvement mark in the Premier League in fewer matches than Salah and only Steven Gerrard has more top-flight goal involvements than he does for Liverpool.
He has now scored or assisted in 11 straight league fixtures and has 44 goals or assists in his last 31 Premier League matches.
