(Video) What Liverpool demon did seconds before Mo Salah goal went under radar

7 hours ago 9

Mo Salah is just, quite simply, inevitable in the famous red shirt, isn’t he?

Liverpool took first blood in their Champions League encounter with Lille, with the Egyptian international registering his 39th goal contribution in 31 games this term.

To put that into perspective – it’s a goal or assist every 65.76 minutes (based on 2,565 minutes played at the time of writing).

Frankly stupendous numbers for a footballer whose current terms are still due to expire at the end of 2024/25 campaign.

Liverpool: Please open the chequebook!

Curtis Jones showed his class with a tremendous through ball to cut through multiple Lille lines, but it was Kostas Tsimikas’ tackle just before the final third to win back possession that really set off the move.
