Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah achieved six remarkable records during his team’s 2-0 win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
The 32-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 14th minute when his left-footed strike deflected off Nathan Ake and past goalkeeper Ederson. Later, in the 37th minute, Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai for Liverpool’s second goal, strengthening their position as league leaders.
Curtis Jones thought he had added a third goal in the 59th minute, but it was disallowed after Szoboszlai was ruled offside in the buildup.
Salah’s outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Match title from commentator Gary Neville. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game alongside Szoboszlai, Salah expressed his delight at the victory.
“It’s incredible to win at Man City,” he said. “It’s a tough place to play, and they have an incredible manager. I’m glad we got the win—it’s special. Especially in a title race, every win matters. Hopefully, we stay calm because pressure can be challenging, but we aim to win every game.”
