When it mattered, Liverpool’s biggest star delivered.

Mohamed Salah had been questioned beforehand like never before, his place in the starting XI at the Ethiad in doubt in the minds of even his most ardent fans after a tough patch by his standards. Yet when the call came at the break, as the Reds found themselves outplayed and outmanoeuvred by Manchester City, it was the Egyptian King who stood tall, and responded with a vital assist.

Salah’s movement in that second half, from outside to in, caused huge problems for the City defence, and his awareness and team ethic in creating chances for others gave his side a priceless point.
