Mohamed Salah makes history in the Turkish league with Trabzonspor

Mohamed Salah made history in the Turkish league as he helped Trabzonspor to a 3-0 victory away to Samsunspor. The Egyptian forward contributed an assist for the third goal, scored in the 40th minute by his teammate Frankulino Djú.

The result adds to a highly productive start to the season for Salah. He has already scored seven goals and provided three assists in the competition. Detailed Opta statistics show that he is the first player to have contributed to 10 goals in his first seven top-flight appearances since the 2014-2015 season, the first season covered by those detailed figures.

The win at Samsunspor therefore came alongside another strong individual performance from Salah: his attacking contribution included a decisive assist in a match Trabzonspor won by three goals. The record concerns his goal contributions across his first seven matches and underlines the scale of his impact from the outset in the league.
