Mohamed Salah led Liverpool to a thrilling victory over Southampton in the Premier League, marking yet another milestone for the team.

WHAT OCCURRED?

The Egyptian international scored twice in the last half hour to give Arne Slot’s team a decisive 3-2 victory at St Mary’s on Sunday, after Liverpool had fallen behind 2-1 after 56 minutes. The 32-year-old scored his 100th goal away from Anfield, incidentally.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Liverpool’s win over lowly Southampton took them eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League title race. The Reds still have 26 games to go but this was a seismic three points for Slot’s team, especially as they were a long way off their best. And once again, they had their talisman Salah to thank for this victory.

DID YOU KNOW?

Since Salah swapped Roma for Liverpool in 2017, the former Chelsea man has scored a whopping 221 goals and bagged 99 assists in 366 appearances for the Merseyside outfit. The winger may add quite a few more goals and assists before the season is over, too.

WHAT NEXT?

When his Liverpool team, who are undefeated in the Champions League this season, plays defending champions Real Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night, Salah will be hoping to score again.
