It was a foregone conclusion that he will say goodbye to 2024 at the top. The issue, however, was how. And the answer was simple, but emphatic: With a converted five! The unstoppable Liverpool ended the year impressively, winning 5-0 of West Ham in London (the score could well be… double) and eluded her pursuers again.
In particular, the “reds” are found again at +8 from 2nd – and amazing – Nottingham Forest+9 from Arsenal and +10 from Chelsea! The “blues”, it should be noted, are hosted by Ipswich on Monday (29/12), while on New Year’s Day the “gunners” have a dangerous exit at home to Brentford. Naturally, Liverpool always has a match less, the derby with Evertonwhich has been moved to February.
In the Olympic stadium of London, his team Arne Slott set up another party, with basic Dino Mavropano and his teammates to have a hard time. The “reds” had five different scorers and great protagonist him space mohamed salahwho “wrote” another goal and two more assists! It is no longer an exaggeration to say that the Egyptian is having a better year than even the one in which his team won their only championship in his days Jurgen Klopp. Just think about this: He reached 17 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League and it’s… December! In total, he has 20 and 17 respectively in the two categories and in fact, tonight (29/12) was the 8th game in the league this year, who has a goal and an assist. Something that has never been done before by a player in the world’s top league!
In his matches, which were, obviously, a performance for a role, Liverpool delayed – and yet – to open the scoreafter 30 minutes had to pass for the first goal, with Luis Diaz to… drag the dance, which followed! Salah found Hakpo in the 40th minute for his side’s second goal and then finished the story with a goal of his own (44th), making it 3-0 before the break.
At the start of the second 45 minutes, o Trent Alexander-Arnold (in one of his last Liverpool games?) shot, the ball countered and surprised Alphonse Areola for 4-0 in the 54th minute, with the icing on the cake coming in from Diogo Zota in 84′, from a wonderful run and second “serving” by Salah. Final score 5-0 and… happy new year!
It is worth noting that he also came on as a substitute in the game Kostas Tsimikasreaching 100 appearances for Liverpool!
