England – Egyptian Mohamed Salah, returning to the starting lineup, led his Liverpool team to a wide victory over Tottenham 4-2 on Sunday, by scoring a goal and contributing to two goals in the 36th round of the English Premier League.
At Anfield, Salah returned to the starting lineup following sitting on the bench of the reserve players in the last match once morest West Ham last week, which witnessed a verbal altercation between him and his German coach Jurgen Klopp when Al-Masry was brought on in the 79th minute, and the exciting statements that accompanied it, especially… From the Pharaoh who said while passing through the mixed area, “There will be fires today if you speak.”
However, Klopp considered in a press conference yesterday, Friday, that the issue had been settled once and for all between him and Salah: “I have settled matters, there is no problem between us.”
Salah imposed himself as the star of the match, as he scored a goal and had the upper hand in two other goals, and a goal he scored in stoppage time was not counted for him due to offside.
After Salah hit the crossbar and then the post in the first quarter of an hour, he succeeded in opening the scoring with a header following a wonderful cross pass from the Dutchman Cody Khakpo in the 16th minute.
Liverpool added the second goal when Salah shot a ball creeping into the area, but Tottenham’s goalkeeper, Italian Guglielmo Vicario, blocked it without catching it, and Scottish left-back Andy Robertson followed it up from close range into the net (45).
Liverpool settled the result dramatically when Khakpo increased its lead with the third goal from a header following a cross from Harvey Elliott (50).
Elliot himself quickly added a wonderful goal when he shot a curling ball into the upper right corner of Tottenham’s goal with a pass from Salah (60).
Tottenham responded with a goal scored by Brazilian substitute Richarlison following a cross pass from Brennan Johnson, then South Korean Heung-Min Son reduced the gap to two goals following a perfect pass from Richarlison (77).
Liverpool raised its score to 78 points, ensuring at least third place, five points behind leaders Arsenal and four behind second-placed Manchester City, which has a game in hand, while Tottenham remained in fifth place with 60 points.
This is the fourth loss in a row for Tottenham in the league.
