As usual this season, Mohamed Salah shone, this time in the Liverpool and Everton match in the Merseyside derby postponed from last December.
Everton took the lead through Beto in the tenth minute, and the visitors to Goodison Park quickly managed to equalize thanks to Salah’s cross that Alexis Mac Allister headed into the net in the 14th minute.

Liverpool’s pressure intensified to score the second goal and win the precious three points, and the solution came from Salah, after he took advantage of a ball that bounced off goalkeeper Pickford and shot it with his right foot into the net.
With what he did today, Mohamed Salah became directly involved in 23 goals (14 goals and nine assists) outside Liverpool’s stadium in the league this season.
