Mohamed Salah played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s victory, scoring two goals that led the team to a 3-2 comeback against last-placed Southampton on Sunday, stretching their lead to eight points atop the Premier League standings.
This triumph marks Liverpool’s 10th win in 12 league matches, capitalizing on a surprising turn of events as defending champions Manchester City suffered their third consecutive league defeat, falling 4-0 at home to Tottenham on Saturday, which also represented their fifth loss in all competitions.
Liverpool found themselves down 2-1 but Salah leveled the match in the 65th minute, racing onto a long ball from teammate Ryan Gravenberch. He then sealed the victory by converting a penalty in the 83rd minute, which was awarded after Yukinari Sugawara was penalized for a handball.
In other news, Ruben Amorim is set to take the reins as Manchester United’s manager for his debut match later, as they travel to face Ipswich.
