On July 8, 2020, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah scored twice to help his team move on to 92 points with a 3-1 win at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.
Champions Liverpool were 2-0 up within eight minutes after Brighton paid heavily for sloppy work in their attempt to play the ball out from the back.
Salah opened the scoring in the sixth minute after Naby Keita robbed Davy Propper and slipped the ball to him. Two minutes later, Salah set up Jordan Henderson who finished with a perfect drive.
Brighton pulled a goal back on the stroke of halftime with Leandro Trossard sweeping home a first-time shot after a pinpoint cross from Tariq Lamptey.
Salah wrapped up the win with a superbly angled near post header from an in-swinging Andy Robertson corner.
Liverpool need nine points from their remaining four games to secure the highest points total in a Premier League season, with the current record set by Manchester City, who amassed 100 points in 2018.
