Speculation about his future with Liverpool F.C. didn't seem to distract forward Mohamed Salah, who accomplished a rare feat on Sunday.

In a 4-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur, Salah joined Wayne Rooney as the only player in Premier League history to record 10 or more goals and 10 or more assists in five different seasons. Per OptaJoe, Salah is the only player to accomplish this feat in three consecutive seasons.

18 goals & 10 assists.

Salah scored his 18th goal of the season at the 16-minute mark. Then he provided his 10th assist of the season to Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott, who scored on a left-footed strike at the 59-minute mark.

Last weekend, in a 2-2 draw to West Ham, TV cameras showed a sideline spat between Salah and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, fueling questions about his future with the club. The 31-year-old is nearing the final year of his contract and has been linked to the Saudi Pro League.

However, David Ornstein of The Athletic reported Liverpool expects Salah to return next season. Klopp, meanwhile, insists they've buried the hatchet.

"Completely resolved. It's no problem," Klopp said Friday, via ESPN. "If we didn't know each other for so long, I'm not sure how we would deal with it, but we know each other for that long and respect each other too much."

Regardless, Liverpool needs Salah to keep playing at a high level. With two games remaining, the Reds (78 points) are third in the Premier League table behind Manchester City (82 points) and Arsenal (83 points).

The Premier League is the only title Liverpool can win in Klopp's final season with the club. It's already been eliminated from the FA Cup and Europa League.
