Mohamed Salah stands to the right of Curtis Jones. The date is November 2nd 2024, and Liverpool are drawing 1-1 vs Brighton at Anfield, 16 minutes remain.
What happens next is something Premier League defenders have surely seen in their nightmares for years: a quick pass to the Egyptian, an incision cut with Salah’s left foot, followed by a curled rocket into the top bins.
The match ends 2-1, and Arne Slot’s men, or Mohamed Salah’s men, extend their lead over Arsenal at the top of the table.
