For all Liverpool and Mohamed Salah’s struggles this season, the incredible blitz that the Egyptian produced off the bench stunned the world and Rangers alike. It sa🦩w Salah walk onto the hallowed Ibrox grounds in the 68th minute, score his first goal seven minutes later an♎d then his third six minutes after his first. That makes him one of the fastest scorers of a hattrick in Champions League history with the Egyptian up there with some of the greats of the modern game.
However, his form in the Premier League has been far from simple with the Egyptian struggling immensely, much like his side, to find his footing. That has been shown by the fact that he has only two league goals to his name aft♏er not one, or two or three games but after nine league games. Then came the six minute hattrick and suddenly the whole statement around Salah changed although Manchester City would prove to be the re♒al test.
And that’s exactly what Manchester City did, test and test and test Liverpool. The first half was intense, bꦫoth teams battling it out and trying their best to make things happen. But the second half was all Manchester City with the away side giving Liverpool no room to breathe at all. They even had the ball in the net only for it to be ruled out for a foul in the build-up although Liverpool did force a few saves from Ederson during all that and then Alisson collected a free-kick.
Manchester City had poured men forward, Alisson had the ball in his arms and he simply booted his goal-kic🍌k downfield, hoping for that hail-mary pass to Mohamed Salah. But Joao Cancelo was the last defender although for some absurd reason, Cancelo dives in. He misses. Salah produces an incredible, ridiculous and a first-touch befitting a man who recently scored a six minute hattrick. Then he scored.
Sensational, isn't it?
Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City
