Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea: 5 men who were brilliant for Liverpool

#2 Mohamed Salah

Liverpool FC v Chelsea FC - Premier League

They say the best of players only need a moment to leave their mark on the game. Even when they are not having the best of games, these world-class talents can turn the whole world upside down with one swing of the boot, one twist, and a turn. That is what makes them special and on Sunday evening, Mohamed Salah seized his moment and gave the game one of its most iconic moments.

The Egyptian had a chance early on to score, but could only aim his shot straight at the keeper. He then escaped a booking when he dived under pressure from Luiz, hoping to earn a penalty. It was just not happening for Salah, who had looked lively but missed the final zing. And then, two minutes after Liverpool had taken the lead, things fell into place.

It was van Dijk’s long ball which found the Egyptian in space on the right flank. Salah turned inside and aimed a ferocious shot, from outside the box, towards Kepa’s goal. The shot was hit with such accuracy that it denied the Spanish goalkeeper any chance and swerved into the far corner. Salah scored Liverpool’s second and won them the game.
