Egyptian great, Mohamed Salah scored a penalty on Sunday evening to seal a 2-0 victory for Liverpool against Manchester City in the English Premier League.
The experienced attacker started the game for the hosts today in the much-anticipated clash between the top clubs.
Liverpool’s dominance paid off when Mohamed Salah’s precise cross found Cody Gakpo, who scored at the back post to delight the Anfield crowd.
Despite City’s attempts to equalise, their lacklustre first-half performance was highlighted by a solitary off-target effort in the 39th minute—their longest wait for a shot in a Premier League match since 2010.
Meanwhile, Liverpool continued to create chances, with Virgil van Dijk and Salah both missing opportunities to extend the lead.
Liverpool sealed the win in the 78th minute after Luis Díaz was brought down by Ortega. Mohamed Salah calmly converted the resulting penalty, securing his 13th goal contribution in his last 11 starts against City.
The victory solidifies Liverpool’s place at the Premier League summit, nine points clear of Arsenal, while City’s woes leave them outside the top four, marking their first four-match league losing streak since 2008.
