Arne Slot’s first season in charge of Liverpool couldn’t have gone much better —it was the stuff of dreams. The Reds not only clinched the Premier League title, they did it in style, finishing with 84 points and sitting comfortably 10 points clear of second-placed Arsenal.
Goals are the most important part of the game, and Liverpool’s attack this season was simply on another level. They scored 86 league goals, more than any other team, 14 more than Man City, 17 more than Arsenal. As many would have predicted, Mohammed Salah led the charge for Liverpool. The Egyptian talisman once again proved why he’s one of the Premier League’s all-time greats, finishing as the top scorer and playing a huge role in their title-winning run.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the key players behind Liverpool’s incredible goal tally in the 2024/25 season, starting with Salah. But before that, check out the best EPL and IPL betting websites in India for the best odds on your wagers.
Mohammed Salah
Mohamed Salah has always been Liverpool’s go-to man in front of goal. Ever since he arrived at Anfield, the Egyptian forward has consistently delivered when it mattered most. In fact, in his first season at the club, he won the Premier League Golden Boot.
This season was no different. Salah once again rose to the occasion, finishing as the Premier League’s top scorer with 29 goals. He also led the league with 18 assists, bringing his total goal contributions in the league to 47.
Outside the EPL, Salah also recorded five goals and five assists, totaling 57 goal contributions across all competitions. Unfortunately for fans, this might be the last we see of him in a Liverpool shirt. His contract is running out, and with no renewal in sight, he could be on his way out at the end of the season. However, if he does leave, he’ll bow out as a true club legend. He’s racked up 401 appearances and 245 goals, making him the third-highest goalscorer in Liverpool’s history.
Luiz Diaz
Since arriving from FC Porto in the January transfer window of 2022, Luis Díaz has gradually earned himself a place as one of Liverpool’s most reliable forwards. In his first half-season, he helped Liverpool secure both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. While injuries hampered parts of his second season, the Colombian international has bounced back in style and has since been a crucial figure in Liverpool’s attacking unit.
Under Arne Slot’s leadership this season, Díaz contributed 13 goals and five assists in the Premier League, bringing his league goal contributions to 18. He also added three goals and one assist in the UEFA Champions League.
Díaz has grown steadily year after year at Liverpool, and this season was easily his most prolific yet. With a Premier League title now under his belt, along with the domestic cups he won early in his Anfield career, his legacy at Liverpool is shaping up to be something to be remembered for years to come.
Cody Gakpo
Cody Gakpo officially joined the Reds in January 2023 from PSV Eindhoven in a deal worth up to £44.3 million. It took him a few games to find his feet, but he has gradually evolved into one of the club’s most dependable forwards.
Gakpo couldn’t find the back of the net until one month after his debut. When he eventually did, he did it in style, scoring in the Merseyside derby against Everton. That season, he helped Liverpool to its 10th EFL Cup victory.
In his second season at the club, 2024/25, Gakpo was a vital part of Arne Slot’s title-winning squad. In the Premier League alone, he delivered 10 goals and four assists, totaling 14 goal contributions. Gakpo was also effective in Europe, scoring three goals and one assist in the Champions League. He also delivered in the domestic cups, with five goals and one assist in the Carabao Cup, bringing his total to 24 goal contributions this season.
Dominik Szoboszlai
Like Gakpo, the 2024/25 season was Dominik Szoboszlai’s second at Liverpool, and it’s been his most impactful yet. He finished with six goals and seven assists in the Premier League, bringing his total to 13 goal contributions. This is a clear improvement from his debut season, where he recorded just three goals and two assists.
At just 24 years old, Szoboszlai is still entering his prime. With his level of talent, work rate, and performance, there is a high chance that he will be a key figure in Liverpool’s midfield for years to come.
Alexis Mac Allister
Alexis Mac Allister might not always grab the headlines like some of Liverpool’s more attacking stars, but his importance to the team can’t be overstated. He was signed from Brighton in the summer of 2023 after a brilliant season that saw him help Argentina win the 2022 World Cup.
McCalister slotted seamlessly into Liverpool’s midfield and quickly became one of the first names on the team sheet. In his first season with the club, he scored five goals and five assists. He has kept his momentum, repeating the same number of goal contributions this season.
Conclusion
Liverpool’s 2024/25 title-winning campaign was a true team effort, with every player stepping up when it mattered most. However, when it came to the attacking side of things, the players listed above made a significant difference. Their contributions in goals and assists were key to the team’s success.
