Steven Gerrard’s incredible strike against Olympiacos in 2004 has to go down as one of the best ever scored by a Red in Liverpool FC’s glorious history. But where else does Stevie G rank among Liverpool’s all-time top scorers? Check out Wintips ranking of the 10 Liverpool all-time top scorers in the Premier League.
Top 10 Liverpool all time top scorers Premier league
10. Daniel Sturridge - 50
In January 2013, Daniel Sturridge joined Liverpool, and quickly formed a formidable attacking partnership with Luis Suárez, known as "SAS" (Sturridge and Suárez). The duo helped the team create a formidable attacking force, especially in the 2013–14 season, when Liverpool scored over 100 goals in all competitions. Of those, Sturridge contributed 21, proving his threat in front of goal.
Despite having suffered injury problems throughout his Liverpool career, Sturridge has consistently been one of the club's best players in the Premier League. The 2013–14 season was considered the peak of his career at The Reds. Under the guidance of manager Brendan Rodgers, Sturridge scored 21 goals in 29 Premier League matches, helping Liverpool compete fiercely for the championship. Although the team could not successfully defend the title, the season was still marked by impressive performances from Sturridge.
9. Dirk Kuyt – 51
Although Dirk Kuyt is often regarded as the epitome of the “fan favourite” due to his exceptional work ethic and unwavering commitment, he was a notable goalscorer during his six years at Liverpool. Kuyt, with his tireless and industrious style of play, proved that he could score goals consistently, although he never managed to score more than 13 in a single season.
The Dutchman reached ten goals in three different seasons, demonstrating his consistent goalscoring ability despite not being a standout striker with spectacular goals. Kuyt was always disciplined, hard-working and dedicated to his team, especially in the 2008–09 season, when Liverpool, under Rafael Benítez, finished second in the Premier League.
Kuyt played in all 38 of Liverpool’s games that season, playing a key role in Liverpool’s impressive run to the title. Kuyt’s consistent presence and contribution to the team was testament to the important role he played in the team’s overall success.
8. Fernando Torres – 65
Fernando Torres became one of the most exciting young strikers in Europe while playing for Atletico Madrid, making his mark with his talent and impressive goalscoring ability. In the summer of 2007, he moved to Liverpool and immediately lived up to the high expectations. During his time at Anfield, Torres scored 65 goals in 102 Premier League games. His first season was particularly outstanding, with 24 goals, establishing him as a key player in the team's attack, cementing his reputation and status at Liverpool.
However, despite a promising and successful start to his time at Liverpool, Torres' career began to decline when he moved to Chelsea in January 2011 in a controversial move. At Stamford Bridge, 'El Nino' failed to reproduce the form he had shown at Anfield. Despite winning a number of trophies, including the Champions League in 2012, Torres’s Chelsea career was seen as unsuccessful and unfulfilling compared to initial expectations. The move, with its difficulties and disappointment for both player and fans, has left many wistful for the good years Torres spent at Liverpool.
7. Luis Suárez – 69
Luis Suárez joined Liverpool in 2011 and made an immediate impact in his first season, helping the team win the League Cup. However, what really cemented his status as a Liverpool legend was his performances in the 2013/14 season. During that season, Suárez equalled the Premier League record for goals scored in a single season (38) and also won his first European Golden Boot.
Despite only playing 110 Premier League games for Liverpool, Suárez made a profound impact. The Uruguayan, with his powerful play and prodigious goalscoring ability, became one of only six players to score 30 goals in a Premier League season. With 38 goals in 31 games in 2013/14, he scored an incredible 51 goals in his final 66 games for Liverpool. Suárez's impressive performances not only helped Liverpool close in on the Premier League title but also cemented him as one of the best strikers in Premier League history.
6. Roberto Firmino – 79
Roberto Firmino, one of Liverpool’s key strikers, had a memorable moment last season when he surpassed his compatriot Luis Suárez with a superb hat-trick in Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Watford. This was a remarkable achievement, as not every player in Jurgen Klopp’s squad has scored three goals in a single game, which only highlighted Firmino’s importance and influence in the team.
This hat-trick from Firmino was not only a personal triumph, but also a huge improvement on his hat-trick against Arsenal in December 2018. By scoring three goals against Watford, Firmino not only helped his team to a big win but also became the first Brazilian player to score a hat-trick in Premier League history, an impressive achievement. Firmino continues to prove his worth not only with his goalscoring ability but also with his creativity and ability to link up play, helping Liverpool maintain a strong position in both the Premier League and international arenas.
5. Sadio Mané – 90
Sadio Mané, despite an impressive career at Liverpool, will probably never be higher than fifth in the club’s all-time goalscoring list, with the next two players on the list still trailing by 28 goals. Despite this, he made a lasting impression on Merseyside before leaving in the summer of 2022 to join Bayern Munich.
The Senegalese, with his quick and skilful play, has scored 100 Premier League goals in total, having netted 21 times during his time at Southampton. During his time at Liverpool, Mané has not only established himself as one of the club’s top strikers, but has also been instrumental in many of the club’s successes, including the Champions League and Premier League titles. In particular, in the 2018–19 season, Mané shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with all three scoring 22 goals. This achievement is not only a testament to Mané's talent but also shows his importance to Liverpool's success during the peak period under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp.
4. Michael Owen - 118
Michael Owen quickly became a key member of Liverpool's youth team, and in a short time he made a strong impression on the fans. In May 1997, aged just 17 years and 143 days, Owen scored his first league goal, becoming the youngest player in the club's history to score in the Premier League. This was not only a milestone in his career but also a testament to the outstanding talent of such a young player.
If it weren't for his persistent hamstring problems, Owen could have topped this list. Although he only finished third, his achievements were still impressive. Owen still holds the record for being the youngest player to score 100 Premier League goals, reaching the milestone in April 2003 at the age of 23 years and 134 days. This was achieved in Liverpool's 6-0 win over West Brom, a match in which Owen scored four goals, a memorable achievement in his career. Owen's contributions to Liverpool during his years at Anfield have made him a legend of the club, although his career was affected by injuries.
3. Steven Gerrard – 120
Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest players in Premier League history, with only 18 players having had more shots on target in the competition’s history. He is the only non-striker in the top 10, demonstrating his impressive attacking ability despite not playing in a purely attacking role. While some of Gerrard’s goals have come from penalties and free-kicks, that doesn’t take away from the value of his contribution to Liverpool.
Gerrard, Liverpool’s iconic captain, will forever be remembered for his historic moments. Not only did he help his team win the 2005 Champions League with crucial goals against Olympiacos and AC Milan, but he also created many other unforgettable memories at Anfield. One of the most memorable moments of his career was his legendary hat-trick in his 400th Premier League appearance. This match took place in the Merseyside Derby, when Liverpool won 3-0 against Everton, and it was a testament to the huge influence Gerrard had on the team, not just technically but mentally.
2. Robbie Fowler - 128
Robbie Fowler, one of the greatest goalscorers in English football history in the 1990s, is now Liverpool's second-highest goalscorer, behind only Mohamed Salah on this list. Fowler, nicknamed 'God' by Liverpool fans, enjoyed a glittering career at Anfield, scoring relentlessly and building a reputation as one of the club's all-time greats.
Although Salah is in impressive form and could overtake Fowler in the near future, Fowler can still be proud of his contributions to Liverpool. Fowler scored a total of 183 goals for the club during his career. After returning in 2006, Fowler added eight more goals, cementing his place in Liverpool's history. Fowler's world-class performances, especially in his early career, saw him become one of the club's greatest legends and a role model for generations of players to come.
1. Mohamed Salah – 129
Since joining Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has become one of the greatest players in Premier League history, and will surely be remembered as one of the best wingers to ever play in the English top flight. With his outstanding goalscoring ability and consistency in form, Salah has not only helped Liverpool win trophies but also revived the belief and hope of the team.
A memorable moment in Salah's career came on a momentous Sunday at Anfield, when Liverpool won 7-0 against Manchester United. It was Liverpool's biggest ever win over their opponents, beating all expectations and ending United's run of success under Erik ten Hag. The match was not only a turning point in the race for the Premier League top four, but also an opportunity for Salah to shine.
In this match, Salah scored a brace and surpassed two Liverpool legends, Michael Owen (128 goals) and Steven Gerrard (120 goals), to become one of the players with the most goals in the history of the club. With his 129th goal, Salah broke Robbie Fowler's record (128 goals) and rose to second place in the list of players with the most goals for Liverpool, affirming himself as a living legend of the team.
Conclude
Liverpool's all-time top scorers in the Premier League represent a legacy of exceptional talent and goal-scoring prowess. Mohamed Salah, currently leading the list, has solidified his place as one of the greatest players in the club's history, breaking numerous records along the way. He joins legends like Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, and Michael Owen, all of whom have made indelible marks on Liverpool's success. Their achievements are not just about the goals they've scored but the moments they've created, contributing to Liverpool's rich history in the Premier League. With each new season, Salah and others continue to etch their names in the club's storied tradition, ensuring that Liverpool's top scorers will always be remembered for their immense contributions to the team's triumphs.
