Only Thierry Henry has done it, back in 2002\/03, with 24 goals and 20 assists in 37 games. It was a season of pure artistry, Henry gliding past defenders like they were cones, setting up teammates with passes that felt like poetry, and leading Arsenal to a near-title. His 44 goal involvements (goals plus assists) were a record for a 38-game season, tied only by Erling Haaland\u2019s 2022\/23 (36 goals, 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salah, in his completed 2024\/25 season, didn\u2019t hit 20\/20, but he came close. With 29 goals and 18 assists in 38 games, he\u2019s two assists shy of joining Henry in the pantheon. His 47 goal involvements tied the all-time Premier League single-season record set by Shearer and Cole, and he surpassed the 38-game season record held by Henry and Haaland. The man didn\u2019t just chase history; he etched his name alongside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But context is king. Henry\u2019s 2002\/03 came in a grittier era, with the Premier League averaging 2.63 goals per game compared to 2024\/25\u2019s 2.87. Defenders could tackle like they were auditioning for the NFL, and pitches weren\u2019t always bowling greens. Salah\u2019s playing in a more open, high-pressing game where goals flow freer, but he\u2019s also facing tactical masterminds and relentless counter-pressing. It\u2019s like comparing a Scorsese classic to a Marvel blockbuster\u2014both are epic, but the production values have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/16-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Thierry Henry 365Scores design \" class=\"wp-image-9857\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Mohamed Salah 365Scores design \" class=\"wp-image-9858\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"crunching-the-numbers-goals-assists-and-geeky-glory\">Crunching the Numbers: Goals, Assists, and Geeky Glory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get nerdy and break out the spreadsheets.

His APG (0.474) is lower, but 18 assists as a winger is bonkers\u2014more on that later. With 47 goal involvements in 38 games, Salah\u2019s tied Shearer and Cole\u2019s all-time record and topped Henry\u2019s 44 in 37, matching the output in one more game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjusting-for-the-scoring-environment\">Adjusting for the Scoring Environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Premier League\u2019s scoring rate has jumped 9.1% from 2002\/03 (2.63 goals per game) to 2024\/25 (2.87), so let\u2019s normalize Henry\u2019s stats to today\u2019s context (2.87 \/ 2.63 \u2248 1.091):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adjusted Goals: 24 * 1.091 \u2248 26.18<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusted Assists: 20 * 1.091 \u2248 21.82<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusted Total G\/A: 26.18 + 21.82 \u2248 48.00 in 37 games<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusted G\/A Per Game: 48.00 \/ 37 \u2248 1.297<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now compare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>GPG: Salah (0.763) &gt; Adjusted Henry (0.707)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>APG: Salah (0.474) &lt; Adjusted Henry (0.590)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total G\/A Per Game: Salah (1.237) &lt; Adjusted Henry (1.297)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry\u2019s adjusted per-game rate still edges Salah\u2019s, driven by his playmaking. But Salah\u2019s 47 goal involvements in 38 games, tying the all-time record, is obscene, especially as a winger. His goal-scoring rate comfortably beats the adjusted Henry, and his positional constraints add weight to his numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chasing-the-all-time-record\">Chasing the All-Time Record<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Salah\u2019s 47 goal involvements tied the all-time Premier League single-season record set by Shearer and Cole (1994\/95 and 1993\/94, respectively, with 34 goals and 13 assists each in 42-game seasons). He fell one short of breaking it, but doing so in four fewer games than Shearer and Cole is a flex for the ages. He also broke the 38-game season record (44, held by Henry and Haaland) with 47.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assist record, held by Henry and De Bruyne at 20, was in sight. Salah finished with 18, two short of tying it. He didn\u2019t hit 20\/20 or match Henry\u2019s assist mark, but tying the all-time G\/A record as a winger is a monumental achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/14-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Mohamed Salah \" class=\"wp-image-9853\" style=\"width:413px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/15-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Thierry Henry\" class=\"wp-image-9854\" style=\"width:413px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"positional-magic-winger-vs-striker\">Positional Magic: Winger vs. Striker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk roles, because this is where Salah\u2019s season gets spicy. Henry was Arsenal\u2019s central striker, the tip of the spear, expected to score and occasionally drop deep to link play. His 20 assists were a bonus, but his 24 goals were par for a No. 9. Salah, as Liverpool\u2019s right winger, operates in tighter spaces, often cutting inside to shoot or threading passes through packed defenses. Wingers typically score less than strikers\u2014think Robert Pires\u2019 14 goals in 2002\/03 or Ryan Giggs\u2019 career-high 13. Salah\u2019s 29 goals are absurd for his position, and his 18 assists rival the league\u2019s top playmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To illustrate, let\u2019s compare Salah\u2019s 2024\/25 to other elite wingers\u2019 peak seasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo (2007\/08, Man United)<\/strong>: 31 goals, 7 assists (38 G\/A in 34 games)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gareth Bale (2012\/13, Tottenham)<\/strong>: 21 goals, 4 assists (25 G\/A in 33 games)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eden Hazard (2018\/19, Chelsea)<\/strong>: 16 goals, 15 assists (31 G\/A in 37 games)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Salah\u2019s 47 goal involvements dwarf these, blending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/cristiano-ronaldo-817\">Ronaldo\u2019s<\/a> scoring with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/player\/eden-hazard-836\">Hazard\u2019s<\/a> creativity. Henry\u2019s 20 assists as a striker were groundbreaking, but Salah\u2019s 18 as a winger are arguably tougher to pull off, given the positional constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"team-impact-salahs-title-charge-vs-henrys-near-miss\">Team Impact: Salah\u2019s Title Charge vs. Henry\u2019s Near-Miss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual brilliance doesn\u2019t exist in a vacuum\u2014team success matters. In 2002\/03, Arsenal scored 85 goals in 38 games, with Henry\u2019s 24 accounting for 28.2%. They finished second, two points behind Manchester United, a bitter pill despite Henry\u2019s heroics. Arsenal\u2019s attack was stacked\u2014Sylvain Wiltord (13 goals), Dennis Bergkamp (12), Robert Pires (11), and Freddie Ljungberg (10)\u2014spreading the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool in 2024\/25 scored 87 goals in 38 games, with Salah\u2019s 29 goals making up 33.3%, a higher share than Henry\u2019s. Liverpool\u2019s other scorers\u2014Luis D\u00edaz (12), Cody Gakpo (9), Diogo Jota (6), Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez (5)\u2014leaned heavily on Salah\u2019s output. Under Arne Slot, Liverpool won the Premier League title, and Salah was the engine of their triumph. His impact feels more decisive than Henry\u2019s, especially because the Reds lifted the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Thierry Henry\" class=\"wp-image-9035\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/3-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Mohamed Salah\" class=\"wp-image-9036\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-arsenal-showdown-a-record-breaking-stage\">The Vibe Check: Swagger, Style, and Legacy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stats are the backbone, but football\u2019s heart is in the vibes. Henry in 2002\/03 was a vibe incarnate\u2014silky, arrogant, untouchable. He\u2019d nutmeg a defender, curl in a 30-yarder, and wink at the camera like he knew he was the main character. His 20\/20 season wasn\u2019t just numbers; it was a cultural moment, paving the way for Arsenal\u2019s Invincibles. Those Nike ads, that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tw9WpI25R6k\">\u201cva-va-voom\u201d Renault campaign<\/a>\u2014Henry was a global brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salah\u2019s vibe is different but electric. He\u2019s a relentless machine, a winger who scores like a poacher and creates like a No. 10. At 32, he\u2019s defying Father Time, dropping masterclasses like his 2-goal, 2-assist demolition of Tottenham in December. Off the pitch, he\u2019s the humble superstar\u2014devout, charitable, and adored by fans. Where Henry was a rock star, Salah\u2019s a folk hero, his clutch gene and work rate resonating in the TikTok era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry\u2019s Arsenal were a prelude to greatness but fell short in 2002\/03. Salah\u2019s Liverpool are champions, and his 47 goal involvements were the spark. In terms of legacy, Salah\u2019s season feels like a crescendo, while Henry\u2019s was a foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"career-context-salahs-closing-in\">Career Context: Salah\u2019s Closing In<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry\u2019s GOAT case is ironclad: four Golden Boots, two Premier League titles, and 175 goals plus 74 assists in 258 games (0.965 G\/A per game). His 2002\/03 season was the peak of a career that redefined attacking play. Salah\u2019s not far behind: 186 goals (fifth all-time), 87 assists in 301 games (0.9 G\/A per game), three Golden Boots, a Playmaker award, and two titles. His Liverpool-only stats are even crazier, and at 32, he\u2019s still climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per 90 minutes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Henry<\/strong>: 249 G\/A in 21,310 minutes = 1.05 G\/A per 90<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salah<\/strong>: 273 G\/A in 24,658 minutes = 0.99 G\/A per 90<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry edges it, but Salah\u2019s durability\u2014never fewer than 32 games a season\u2014gives him an edge in the modern game\u2019s grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/12-365-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Thierry Henry \" class=\"wp-image-9072\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/10-365-2-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Mohamed Salah\" class=\"wp-image-9041\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(365Scores design)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-verdict-salahs-season-takes-the-crown-for-now\">The Verdict: Salah\u2019s Season Takes the Crown (For Now)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is Salah\u2019s 2024\/25 better than Henry\u2019s 2002\/03?

His 20\/20 season redefined what a striker could be, and his cultural cachet\u2014those iconic celebrations, that Highbury statue\u2014looms large. Salah\u2019s season is a masterpiece of execution; Henry\u2019s was a work of art. Salah\u2019s failure to hit 20 assists or break the 47 G\/A record outright keeps Henry\u2019s 20\/20 unique, but matching the all-time mark as a winger tips the scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salah\u2019s 2024\/25 takes the crown for its raw output and team impact, but Henry\u2019s artistry and pioneering 20\/20 keep the debate alive. The Premier League\u2019s GOAT season argument just got spicier, and Salah has cemented his place in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>By Nicky Helfgott &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NickyHelfgott1\"><em>NickyHelfgott1 on X (Twitter<\/em>)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up with all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/news\">latest football news<\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/league\/premier-league-7\/news\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.365scores.com\/en-us\/football\/league\/premier-league-7\/news\"> Premier League news<\/a> on 365Scores!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"riddle2-wrapper\" data-rid-id=\"qExLDTy2\" data-auto-scroll=\"true\" data-is-fixed-height-enabled=\"false\" data-bg=\"#fff\" data-fg=\"#00205b\" style=\"margin:0 auto; max-width:100%; width:640px;\" ><script src=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/build-embedjs\/embedV2.js\"><\/script><iframe title=\"Who had the better season?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riddle.com\/embed\/a\/qExLDTy2?lazyImages=false&#038;staticHeight=false\" allow=\"autoplay\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data shows Salah&#039;s 2024\/25 is the greatest EPL season ever Mohamed Salah\u2019s 2024\/25 season is a statistical supernova, and with 29 goals and 18 assists, he tied the all-time Premier League single-season record of 47 goal involvements, set by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
