Mohamed Salah has been handed a new number by his Liverpool team-mates after he made history over the weekend.
The Egyptian became the fifth Liverpool player to reach 200 club goals, when he netted against Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime. The Reds had fallen behind in the first-half, but goals from Salah and Harvey Elliott turned the game on its head.
And Salah has now been recognised for his achievement by the Reds, and he was presented with a shirt bearing his name and the number 200. "We’ve carried that shirt already for two weeks with us, now finally we could give it to him," Jurgen Klopp joked.

"It was pretty much the best moment to score it, to be 100 percent honest. Incredible number for a super special, super-super special player. I don’t know how often he saved us with a goal he scored in the right moment."
Salah's strike also saw him climb into the top ten for the most goals in Premier League history – drawing level with Michael Owen on 150. However, he's still 110 goals off Alan Shearer's eye-watering number of 260 goals in the English top flight.
