Mohamed Salah left Dion Dublin in shock on BBC Radio 5 Live (03/10, 18:07) after putting Liverpool ahead in style against Manchester City during Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Anfield.
The Egyptian restored the Reds’ advantage with a quarter of an hour left in the game after Sadio Mane’s opener. But Kevin de Bruyne responded for the Citizens five-minutes later to secure Pep Guardiola’s Premier League title-holders a point.
Salah is thriving for Jurgen Klopp so far this season, with his strike on Sunday the Egyptian’s ninth this term. The 29-year-old has also scored six and assisted three across his seven top-flight appearances, only failing to fire home once.
Salah continued his streak of five-straight Premier League games with a goal in unstoppable fashion to stun Dublin and put Liverpool ahead against Man City. The £200k-a-week winger twisted and turned his way through the Citizens’ defence, before powering past Ederson.
Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte fell victim to the Reds’ £34m signing from 2017 and his bamboozling footwork. Salah also left Dublin waxing lyrical over the Liverpool ace’s mesmerising work to weave through Manchester City. “Oh my word, what have I just seen?! That is incredible!” Dublin exclaimed. “That is just outstanding from Mo Salah!
“He beats three, four, five and then strikes it with his right-foot. He has no right to score from that angle but what composure. That is just outstanding!”
SALAH SCORED EARLY GOAL OF THE SEASON CONTENDER IN LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER CITY
Salah scored an early goal of the season contender against Manchester City that Liverpool fans will remember for some time. But his overall performance, not just a strike that Dublin gushes over, was pivotal to the Reds taking a point.
The Egyptian was the spark that ignited the Anfield natives’ efforts after a difficult first-half against a commanding Citizens display. He showed his class when assisting Mane with a perfectly weighted through ball to break the deadlock.
And after Phil Foden pulled the Etihad Stadium side level, it was Salah who gave the visitors a nightmare. Gliding his way through to find an angle on goal for a spellbinding strike.
