The opening goal in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Everton was a classic counter attack from the Reds. The move set a new Premier League record for the fastest goal following a woodwork hit at the other end of the pitch.
While Mohamed Salah was no doubt grateful for the bizarre positioning of Blues goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, the Egyptian knew who he really had to thank for his 100th league goal contribution at Anfield. As his teammates engulfed him in front of the Kop, Salah tried to break free to deliver one of his trademark assist points in the direction of Darwin Nunez.
It was he who had carried the ball half the length of the pitch while evading challenges in order to deliver it perfectly to Salah. It continued a theme of the campaign and one which can definitely help Liverpool over the remainder of the 2022/23 season.
