He showed his quality – Liverpool coach Arne Slot lauds Egyptian attacker Mohamed Salah after netting double against Bournemouth

Mohamed Salah 20 Goals Premier League Season 1536x769 1

Liverpool coach, Arne Slot has praised the quality of Mohamed Salah after scoring twice in their 2-0 win against AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Salah netted in both halves to earn the Reds a third consecutive win in the top flight, converting a first-half penalty after Lewis Cook tripped Cody Gakpo, before curling in a stunning second 15 minutes from time.

The Egyptian attacker has now scored 11 Premier League goals against Bournemouth; the seventh side he has netted 10 or more against in the competition.

Only Alan Shearer (12) has scored double figures against more different opponents in Premier League history.

“Maybe, that second goal was the difference between the two teams,” Slot told Sky Sports. “It was not an easy chance, and he puts it in the net, but it shows you how much quality he has.”

“[It was] exactly the game we expected. They’re so intense, and they keep running every second,” Slot added. “I said before the game when we were 3-0 up at Anfield at half-time, they kept on running.

“We had to play on top of our abilities, and we needed a bit of luck to win this game. They were constantly trying to do things. I didn’t think we controlled the game.

“It is a good team and a good manager. I am very happy that we could keep a clean sheet and score two goals,” he added.

Mohamed Salah has also reached 20 or more Premier League goals in a single season for the fifth time (also 2017-18, 2018-19, 2020-21, and 2021-22).
