Mohamed Salah stars again as Liverpool move closer to Premier League title.
Mohamed Salah celebrated his new contract with another Premier League record as Liverpool move to within two wins of clinching the title despite a lacklustre 2-1 victory over West Ham.
Two days after top-flight defenders had to come to terms with the prospect of another two years of torment from the Egypt international, the Hammers’ 19-year-old wing-back Ollie Scarles found himself in the firing line.
Scarles was turn inside and out by Salah. Whose cross for Luis Diaz’s 18th-minute effort was his 45th Premier League goal involvement (27 goals, 18 assists) and the most in a 38-game season.
Salah, favourite for a fourth Golden Boot in eight seasons.
Now only two away from the all-time สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน assist record jointly held by fellow Premier League greats Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne.
Anfield came to celebrate their ‘Egyptian King’ but in reality other than that and Diaz’s 15th goal of the campaign there was little else to cheer until a late flurry prompted by Andy Robertson’s 86th-minute own goal.
It was Virgil van Dijk’s attempted clearance of Aaron Wan Bissaka’s cross. Which cannoned off his team-mate but the captain, set to join Salah in soon signing a new contract, made amends by powering home a late header and wheeling away to kiss the badge on his shirt.
