Fans on social media have lauded Liverpool following their 2-1 comeback victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday, November 2. Some supporters even suggested that Mohamed Salah should be given a Ballon d’Or and that Liverpool could win the Premier League.
Ferdi Kadioglu gave Brighton the lead in the 14th minute after receiving a pass from Danny Welbeck. In the 69th minute, the Reds found the back of the net through Cody Gakpo, making the scoreline 1-1. Three minutes later, Salah gave the Reds the lead after receiving a pass from Curtis Jones.
The Reds' 2-1 comeback victory impressed fans on social media. Reacting to the result, one user suggested that Salah should be given a Ballon d’Or, writing:
"Give salah that ballon dor."
"We are winning the league," another user opined
"IT’S LONELY AT THE TOP BABYYYYY!!!," another user added
One netizen opined that Salah is a living legend, writing:
"Salah is the living Legend no doubt best player."
"Salah always bringing happiness," another fan commented.
The Reds have now recorded 25 points from 10 Premier League games this season, making them the league leaders. They are two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City in the title race.
Arne Slot's men will be eager to maintain consistency as they look to reclaim the league title this season.
Mohamed Salah's presence could be key for Liverpool against Bayer Leverkusen
Next, the Reds will take on Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League at Anfield on Tuesday, November 5.
The Reds have earned nine points from three games in the Champions League. They beat AC Milan, Bologna, and RB Leipzig. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have secured seven points from three games, having beaten Milan and SV Elversberg and drawing against Brest. As such, this clash could be interesting as both teams have not tasted defeat in the Champions League this season.
One player whose presence in attack could be key for the Reds is Salah. He has scored eight goals and registered seven assists in 14 games for Liverpool across competitions this season. He's scored one goal and provided two assists in three Champions League games.
He is one of Liverpool's most in-form players at the moment. Salah's attacking intuition could help the Reds in unlocking Bayer Leverkusen's defense, and this could improve their likelihood of winning the game.
