In a dramatic encounter at Anfield that saw Jurgen Klopp receive a red card and Mohammed Salah score an incredible game-winning goal, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 1-0, putting their recent Premier League struggles behind them.
At Anfield, Manchester City ultimately gave in to the Reds’ pressure, and the Egyptian international played a significant role in this. Erling Haaland fouled Fabinho in the 53rd minute, which led to Phil Foden appearing to score for City, but the goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR).
Salah, who had a direct hand in 14 goals for Liverpool against Manchester City (9 goals, 5 assists), the most against any opponent for the Reds, however, had the final say in the 76th minute when he handled a long pass from goalkeeper Allison Becker before firing home.
