EPL: Man United’s nightmare? Salah shows class again in Liverpool’s win at Old Trafford
By Okezie Omorogie
Egyptian Right-winger, Mohamed Salah performs beautiful by providing the third goal and two assists to seal an emphatic victory for club side Liverpool against bitter rivals, Manchester United in match week 3 on September 1st, 2024 in Old Trafford.
The Liverpool talisman once again proved his goalscoring streak against United as he set up two goalscoring opportunities in the 35th and 42nd minute for, Luiz Diaz after a defensive blunder from Casemiro. He then sealed the victory for Arne Slot side by striking home the ball, which was passed from Szoboszlai into the left corner of the goal post after another defensive error from Kobbie Mainoo in the 62nd minute.
However, with this master piece once again from Salah, his goal tally against United has risen to 15 and assists stands at 6. The Egyptian King, perhaps with this performance has etched his name forever in the hearts of fans and enthusiasts of Liverpool FC as well as created a permanent terror to United.
Although, more goals could have been scored as Trent early strike was ruled offside by VAR. Manchester United defiance was no match for the resilience of Arne Slot side who despite been away came all out to create mayhem in Old Trafford and at the same time keep their defense watertight. A loss tonight makes it two in a row for Erik Ten Hag as they slump from the 11th position to 14th position, meaning Ten Hag will have to put more effort, while the international break commences this week.
