YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF YOU BOUGHT A TICKET FOR THIS SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT! AN EXCITING FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER WITH LIVERPOOL’S DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI KICKING OFF THE PROCEEDINGS WITH A CRACKER AT 30 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, AND THEN IT WAS SOUTHAMPTON’S TURN WITH ADAM ARMSTRONG HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET WITH A STUNNER AT 42 MINS., AND HIS TEAM-MATE MATEUS FERNANDES FOLLOWING ON WITH ANOTHER BLINDER AT 56 MINS., WITH ALL THINKING THAT FOR JUST A SPLIT-SECOND, UNDERDOGS SOUTHAMPTON MIGHT HAVE WON THE MATCH! BUT THEN IN THE 65TH MINUTE, MO SALAH SPRANG INTO ACTION WITH THE FIRST GOAL OF A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 65 MINS. AND ANOTHER FROM A PENALTY AT 83 MINS., MEANING THAT THIS CAPTIVATING GAME ENDED IN A 3 -2 WIN TO LIVERPOOL!
AFTER THE MATCH, MO SAID HE WAS DISAPPOINTED AT NOT HAVING RECEIVED AN OFFER TO STAY AT LIVERPOOL, SAYING “YOU KNOW I HAVE BEEN AT THE CLUB FOR MANY YEARS. THERE IS NO CLUB LIKE THIS. I LOVE THE FANS, THE FANS LOVE ME. IN THE END, IT’S NOT IN MY HANDS, OR THE FANS HANDS. LET’S WAIT AND SEE”
IT DOES SEEM A SHAME TO LET A SUPERSTAR OF THIS STATURE GO – ONLY ERLING HAALAND HAS SCORED MORE PREMIER LEAGUE GOALS THAN MO SALAH THIS SEASON!
