Premier League 100 club: Salah surpasses Giggs on all-time scoring list

Mohamed Salah's latest two-goal haul has seen him leapfrog Manchester United legend and 13-time Premier League winner Ryan Giggs in the competition's all-time goalscoring charts.

The Liverpool winger netted twice as the Reds cruised to a 4-1 Merseyside derby win over Everton on Wednesday night - their biggest away derby win for almost 40 years.

Salah scored two of those goals to take him up to 110 in the Premier League - now one above Giggs and level with former Liverpool man Emile Heskey.

Giggs scored his 109 goals in 632 games, but Salah has reached 110 in just 171 outings; of players with 100 or more Premier League goals, only Thierry Henry, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane have a better strike rate.
