Mo Salah delivered a sensational performance in a crucial win over Manchester City on Sunday, showcasing his best form.
With Liverpool leading 2-0 just before halftime, Trent Alexander-Arnold regained possession near the edge of the box and played a simple pass to Salah.
Under pressure from Josko Gvardiol and Omar Marmoush, it seemed difficult for the Egyptian to escape the situation, so he feigned a pass to Dominik Szoboszlai.
Anticipating the move, Nico Gonzalez pressed Szoboszlai, but Salah cleverly faked the pass and continued dribbling, leaving the midfielder completely outmaneuvered.
Gonzalez struggled to recover from Salah’s feint, lost his footing, and collapsed to the ground, highlighting the Egyptian’s exceptional skill.
Even from a distance, the way Salah effortlessly outplayed a defender emphasized the incredible form he’s in right now.
His outstanding performances have drawn praise, with Arsène Wenger suggesting he should be a contender for the Ballon d’Or.
Following the win over Aston Villa, Salah revealed that he and Virgil van Dijk held a team meeting, demonstrating the squad’s determination to push for the title.
With the dominant victory over Guardiola’s side and Arsenal’s defeat, it felt like a pivotal weekend that brought Liverpool closer to securing the title.
