5 major talking points from Liverpool's humbling of Manchester City

#1 Salah injury mars Liverpool win

Salah was substituted in the second half due to an injury

When Mohamed Salah walked to the touchline clutching his thigh, you could feel the anxiety on the faces of the teeming Liverpool fans. Unfortunately, the Egyptian could not continue and was substituted just seven minutes after the start of the second half.

The extent of his injury remains unknown, but what was evident is that the injury marred what was otherwise an excellent night at Anfield. With the Reds set to face City again in a week’s time, and with the Premier League top four race still open, an injury to Salah is not what Liverpool need right now.

The player has scored 38 goals in all competitions, hence it is understandable why Klopp chose to take him off rather than risk making it even worse. Salah has enjoyed an impressive season so far, and many Liverpool fans would hope that his injury is nothing serious.

After delivering a goal and an assist that could potentially send Liverpool into the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in over a decade, the Egyptian's injury marred what should have been a sweet night.
