Mohamed Salah was the focus in the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal in this round.
Arsenal started better and opened the score early thanks to Gabriel Magalhaes.
That’s when the Anfield team really encountered difficulties.
However, Mohamed Salah’s class spoke up at the right time. His handling couldn’t have been more perfect.
In the 29th minute, with the ball on the right wing in the direction of аttаck, the Egyptian striker only needed one beаt to pass Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Then, he finished without allowing David Raya to block, bringing the equalizer for Liverpool.
Before that, there must be another 10 point handling phase. This time it was Trent with a classy observation and passing situation.
The English defender passed the ball quickly after just scanning his eyes forward to find his teammates, leaving Gabriel Jesus unable to get close enough to stop it.
Trent’s drop of the ball had just enough force to fall within Salah’s range of movement. The rest is a goal for Liverpool.
Personally, Salah continued to have excellent performances. He entered the top 10 highest scorers in Premier League history with 151 goals, surpassing the achievement of senior Michael Owen (150 goals).
The Egyptian striker is also the first player in tournament history to score 10 or more goals against three big teams: Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal.
Since the beginning of the season, Salah has scored 12 goals and contributed 7 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League. He is only 2 goals behind Erling Haaland in the top scorer race. Salah’s high form is an important reason to help The Kop compete fairly for the championship this season.
