A Salah wonder allows Liverpool to bring down Manchester City

With a little magic trick against Joao Cancelo, Mohamed Salah tipped this Sunday (which remains a) Premier League shock between Liverpool and Manchester City (1-0, 76th). His control of the right calf by rolling up the Portuguese side, after a supersonic and precise recovery from his goalkeeper Alisson, could be one of the strong images of the PL season. In any case, he is the delight of the Gunners, who now have a 4-point lead in the standings over Erling Haaland’s partners, for once silent this Sunday.

If Liverpool remains stuck in eighth place, 10 points behind City and 6 behind Chelsea (4th), this prestigious success remains an incredible breath of fresh air in a season that had been very gloomy until then. The highlights were not lacking this Sunday, between an opening goal refused by the VAR to Phil Foden, after a foul by Haaland on Fabinho at the start of the action (53rd), the anger of Pep Guardiola in stride , but also a parade from Alisson against the Norwegian striker (0-0, 64th), or finally the expulsion of a volcanic Jürgen Klopp (85th).

Even if the entry into play of Darwin Nunez once again showed that the Uruguayan striker was very far from being a crack worth 100 million euros (bonus included), by playing cataclysmically a 3 against 1 (87th), the future may not be so bleak for the Reds of Jürgen Klopp.
