The Reds have been missing the Egyptian star since Mohamed Salah scored a brace against Newcastle earlier this year.
Salah first played for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in early January, but his journey to the Africa Cup of Nations ended early due to an unexpected injury. The injury means that even if Egypt are out of the Africa Cup of Nations early, Salah will have to wait a while before he can play again for Liverpool.
However, it didn't take long for Mohamed Salah to come on as a substitute for the injured Jota against Brentford, and it barely took him long to get back to his best. He started the second half with a beautiful pass that set up McAllister from inside the box. The Egyptian star then capitalised on a mistake at the back to get the ball before the opposition defender and almost slotted the ball with his body on his back.
Salah announced his return with a goal and an assist, while also proving that he can contribute to the team as long as he plays. Salah, who is in good form, is exactly what Liverpool desperately need at this stage of injury trouble.
Salah also reached a milestone in this game when he scored and assisted in the same game for the 30th time in the Premier League. He also became the fourth player after Thierry Henry (32), Wayne Rooney (36) and Alan Shearer (31) to score at least 30 times in a single Premier League game.
Salah's next challenge is to overtake the three players ahead of him. While it's unlikely that he'll perform six more times in the rest of the season, there is still hope that he can challenge that record if he stays at Anfield.
It's also worth noting that Salah has also consumed the least number of appearances while completing this achievement. Salah has made 252 appearances in the Premier League so far. Shearer used 441 and Rooney 491. Only Thierry Henry (258) has consumed about the same number of games as Salah.
