We honour the latest record for consecutive matches in which Liverpool have scored a goal: 33 (from 19 April 2021 to 19 December 2021). ALSO to record consecutive matches without conceding a goal: 11 (from 29 October 2005 to 18 December 2005).
Liverpool have broken that record after their 2-0 win over Porto in the Champions recently. Jurgen Klopp's side maintained their 100 percent record in the competition this season with a win over the Portuguese side. Thiago opened the scoring early in the second-half with a fantastic effort on the half-volley before Mohamed Salah sent a trademark left-footed strike beyond Diogo Costa.
The Reds became the first side to score two or more goals in 16 consecutive games in all competitions in 82 years.
Klopp’s men maintained an outstanding record in league football during December, their last top-flight loss during the month coming in 2016 (27 wins, seven draws).
Thursday’s comeback victory over Newcastle Utd, The Magpies, brought up a magnificent milestone for Liverpool: the 2,000th top-flight win in the club’s history.
The Reds are the first English team ever to reach that landmark, which came in their 4,227th such match (1,047 draws and 1,180 defeats).
There was an additional flourish for manager Klopp, specifically in the form of his 150th league win since taking charge of the club in October 2015.
Reflecting his side’s relentlessness in the division for the majority of his tenure, Klopp has brought up that total in 12 games fewer than any of his predecessors in the dugout, bettering Sir Kenny Dalglish, who got to the mark in 2011.
Liverpool’s No.11, Salah, has now scored or assisted a goal in each of his last 15 Premier League appearances and thereby equalled the record set by Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy in 2015.
Watch the video.
The last side to do so was Wolverhampton Wanderers as World War 2 broke out, while the only team to have a longer run was Sunderland in 1927 with 17 games.
Liverpool's run started back in September with a 3-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road. It includes victories over the likes of AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and Manchester United. Despite three draws in that time against Brentford, Manchester City and Brighton, the Reds have managed to find the back of the net at least twice in each of those games. The defeat to West Ham is also included, but the two goals from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Divock Origi in the 3-2 loss at the London Stadium kept the run alive. Klopp's record-breaking side have the chance to match Sunderland's record against Southampton thisweekend.
YES, I know you know that I get my "blog stuff" from the world wide web. Hey ho....This table of records is worth a look at and you might need to move "table" to see all its records. Very good for that Christmas quiz. There's a lot of stuff here and don't be frightened to use the sliding bar below.
