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, especially in the 2013–14 season, contributed to Liverpool scoring over 100 goals in all competitions. Of those, Sturridge contributed 21, demonstrating his clinical finishing ability.
Despite battling persistent injury issues throughout his time at Liverpool, Daniel Sturridge was undoubtedly one of the club’s standout performers during his Premier League tenure. His 2013–14 season remains the pinnacle of his career with The Reds. Under Brendan Rodgers’ management, Sturridge netted an impressive 21 goals in 29 Premier League appearances, playing a pivotal role in Liverpool's intense push for the championship. While the team ultimately fell short of securing the title, Sturridge’s remarkable contributions left a lasting mark on that memorable campaign.
9. Dirk Kuyt – 51
Similarly, Dirk Kuyt earned his place as a fan favorite at Liverpool, not only for his relentless work ethic and dedication but also for his goal-scoring ability. Over six years with the club, Kuyt consistently found the back of the net, showcasing his knack for critical goals. While he never exceeded 13 goals in a single season, his industrious style and unwavering commitment made him a vital player and a cherished figure among the Anfield faithful.
The Dutchman reached ten goals in three different seasons, demonstrating his consistent scoring ability despite not being known for 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 appeared 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 were a 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, showcasing his talent and 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 and cementing his legacy at Liverpool.
Fernando Torres began his Liverpool career with great promise and success, quickly becoming a fan favorite at Anfield. However, his career trajectory shifted dramatically when he made a high-profile and controversial move to Chelsea in January 2011. At Stamford Bridge, 'El Niño' struggled to replicate the prolific form he displayed at Liverpool. Although he collected several major trophies, including the Champions League in 2012, his time at Chelsea fell short of the lofty expectations. This chapter of his career, marked by challenges and unfulfilled potential, left many fans reminiscing about the brilliance he brought to Liverpool during his prime.
7. Luis Suárez – 69
Luis Suárez etched his name into Liverpool’s history with his remarkable impact. Joining the club in 2011, he made an immediate impression by helping Liverpool secure the League Cup. His legacy, however, was truly solidified during the 2013/14 season, where he delivered an extraordinary campaign. Suárez equaled the Premier League record for most goals in a single season, netting 38 times, and earned his first European Golden Boot. His dazzling performances and unrelenting passion ensured his status as a Liverpool legend, forever remembered for his electrifying contributions.
Although Suárez played just 110 Premier League games for Liverpool, his impact was profound. The Uruguayan's powerful play and remarkable scoring ability made him one of only six players to score 30 goals in a Premier League season. In the 2013/14 season, Suárez scored 38 goals in 31 games, bringing his tally to 51 goals in his final 66 games for Liverpool. Suárez's impressive performances not only helped Liverpool come close to winning the Premier League title but also cemented his status as one of the best strikers in Premier League history.
6. Roberto Firmino – 79
Roberto Firmino, one of Liverpool’s key strikers, marked a significant milestone last season by surpassing his compatriot Luis Suárez with a superb hat-trick in Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Watford. This remarkable achievement highlighted Firmino’s importance and influence, as few players in Jurgen Klopp’s squad have managed to score a hat-trick in a single game.
Roberto Firmino's hat-trick against Watford was a significant personal achievement, marking a clear progression from his previous three-goal performance against Arsenal in December 2018. Not only did he score three goals, securing a crucial win for his team, but Firmino also made history by becoming the first Brazilian player to score a hat-trick in Premier League history, a remarkable feat. His contributions to Liverpool go beyond just goalscoring, as his creativity and ability to link up play have been instrumental in maintaining the club's strong position both domestically and internationally.
5. Sadio Mané – 90
Sadio Mané, despite a highly successful career at Liverpool, is likely to remain fifth on the club's all-time goalscoring list, with the players above him still out of reach by 28 goals. However, Mané's legacy on Merseyside is undeniable, and he made a lasting impact before his departure in the summer of 2022 to join Bayern Munich. His time at Liverpool was marked by consistent performances, memorable goals, and significant contributions to the team’s success.
The Senegalese player, known for his quick and skillful play, has scored 100 Premier League goals, including 21 during his time at Southampton. At Liverpool, Mané established himself as one of the club’s top strikers and played a key role in many successes, including the Champions League and Premier League titles. In the 2018–19 season, Mané shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, each scoring 22 goals. This achievement not only attests to Mané's talent but also demonstrates his importance to Liverpool’s success during the peak period under Jurgen Klopp's guidance.
4. Michael Owen - 118
Michael Owen quickly became a key member of Liverpool's youth team and made a strong impression on fans. In May 1997, at just 17 years and 143 days old, Owen scored his first league goal, becoming the youngest player in the club's history to do so in the Premier League. This was both a milestone in his career and a testament to the exceptional talent of such a young player.
Had it not been for his recurring hamstring injuries, Michael Owen might have topped Liverpool's all-time goalscoring list. Though he finished third, his accomplishments remain highly impressive. Owen still holds the record as the youngest player to score 100 Premier League goals, a milestone he reached in April 2003 at just 23 years and 134 days old. This achievement came in a 6-0 victory over West Brom, where Owen scored four goals, cementing his place in Liverpool's history. Despite his career being marred by injuries, Owen's time at Anfield left an indelible mark, making him a club legend.
3. Steven Gerrard – 120
Steven Gerrard, with 120 goals, stands as one of the Premier League’s greatest players, with only 18 others having more shots on target in the competition's history. As the only non-striker in the top 10, Gerrard showcased his incredible attacking ability despite playing primarily in midfield. While many of his goals came from penalties and free-kicks, this does not diminish the immense value of his contributions to Liverpool, reinforcing his status as one of the club's all-time greats.
Gerrard, Liverpool's iconic captain, will always 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, he also created many unforgettable memories at Anfield. One of the most memorable moments of his career was his legendary hat-trick in his 400th Premier League game. The match, which took place in the Merseyside Derby with Liverpool winning 3-0 against Everton, was a testament to Gerrard's huge influence on the team—both technically and mentally.
2. Robbie Fowler - 128
Robbie Fowler, one of the greatest goalscorers in English football during the 1990s, is now Liverpool's second-highest goalscorer, behind only Mohamed Salah on this list. Fowler, nicknamed 'God' by Liverpool fans, had a glittering career at Anfield, scoring relentlessly and establishing himself as one of the club's all-time greats.
While Mohamed Salah continues to shine with impressive performances and is on track to surpass Robbie Fowler shortly, Fowler's legacy at Liverpool remains significant. Scoring a total of 183 goals for the club, Fowler's contributions are still deeply etched in Liverpool's history. Even after his return in 2006, Fowler added another eight goals, reinforcing his place as one of the club’s most revered legends. His world-class performances, particularly in his early years, made him an iconic figure and a role model for generations of players to follow.
1. Mohamed Salah – 129
Since joining Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has firmly established himself as one of the greatest players in Premier League history and one of the finest wingers to ever play in the English top flight. His exceptional goalscoring ability and consistency have not only propelled Liverpool to numerous trophies but also reignited the team's belief and ambition.
A defining moment of Salah's career came on a memorable Sunday at Anfield, where Liverpool triumphed 7-0 over Manchester United. This was not just their biggest-ever win against their rivals, but also a statement victory that ended United's strong run under Erik Ten Hag. It was a turning point in the race for the Premier League top four, and a moment that allowed Salah to further cement his legacy.
In this match, Salah scored a brace and surpassed two Liverpool legends, Michael Owen (128 goals) and Steven Gerrard (120 goals), moving into the list of players with the most goals in the club's history. With his 129th goal, Salah broke Robbie Fowler's record (128 goals) and rose to second place on the list of players with the most goals for Liverpool, solidifying his status as a living legend of the team.
Conclusion
Liverpool's all-time top scorers in the Premier League embody a legacy of exceptional talent and goal-scoring prowess. Mohamed Salah, who currently leads 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 left a lasting impact on Liverpool's success. Their achievements are not just about the goals they've scored, but also the unforgettable moments they've provided, contributing to Liverpool's rich history in the Premier League.
