All Hail Mo Salah As Liverpool Leads EPL Table After Beating 10-Man Everton

Liverpool levelled up on points with Arsenal and Tottenham on the English Premier League table on Saturday (today) after their victory in Derby against Everton.

Thanks to Mohamed Salah’s double, the Reds now sit at the top of the league chat with 20 points with a game ahead of the Gunners, Manchester City and Tottenham, who have their matches on Saturday and Monday, respectively.

Salah spared no chance for Pickford as he played a blast penalty into the right-hand corner of Everton’s post to open the scoreboard for Liverpool in the intriguing match.

Naija News observed there were many controversies in the game after Everton’s Keane’s arm was seen romancing the ball. Though it was counted away from his body.

Everton was outstanding in their defence with 10 men against Liverpool. The likes of Onana and Doucoure were impressive in midfield, and Dyche controlled the centre-forward options, giving the Reds some tough times to penetrate despite several attempts.

Liverpool had made offensive moves in both halves but had no positive results until Everton’s gamble in search of a late equaliser which backfired.

Darwin Nunez picked a pass forward and waited to play the pass-through to Salah at the right time, switching past Pickford for the first time as the Reds sealed their victory with a 97-minute goal.
