Mohamed Salah scored a stunning goal that was instrumental in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Arsenal in a friendly match played at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Egyptian international exploited his trademark speed, dribbling past Arsenal defenders to find himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and slot the ball into the net, giving Liverpool the lead in the 13th minute.

In the 34th minute, Carvalho added a second goal for the Reds, before Kai Havertz pulled one back for Arsenal in the 40th minute.
The second half provided an opportunity for Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta to introduce their young players, and Salah was substituted in the 72nd minute to a standing ovation.
Liverpool are scheduled to play two more friendlies before the start of the Premier League, facing Manchester United on August 4th and Sevilla on August 11th.
On the other hand, Arsenal will play friendlies against Bayer Leverkusen and Lyon before starting their season with a Premier League match against Wolverhampton, while Liverpool’s first league match will be against Ipswich Town.
