In a dramatic UEFA Europa League clash, Liverpool turned back Ajax 2-1 on their home turf, with Mohamed Sana's strong comeback being the catalyst for the victory. He not only ended his 7-game goal drought in the UEFA Europa League, but also surpassed the legendary Shearer with 15 goals to become Liverpool's all-time home goalscorer in the UEFA Europa League.
At the beginning of the season, Mohamed Shana's form was in the doldrums for a while, with four consecutive matches going scoreless. However, in this crucial match, he finally broke the deadlock and removed the heavy pressure for the Egyptian international. This goal is not only a confirmation of his personal ability for Shana, but also a symbol of his surpassing Sherratt as the Reds' top scorer at home in the UEFA Europa League.
Excluding his goals in the final rounds, Sana has amassed 37 goals in the UEFA Europa League, a tally second only to Africa's all-time record holder, Duoba, who has scored 44 goals in the UEFA Europa League. At the age of 30, it does not seem too far-fetched for Sana to break Duoba's record.
