Both teams exchanged attacks throughout the second half, before Salah completed his double in the 75th minute with an impressive curler into the far right corner of the net.

The brace took Mohamed Salah’s season tally to 21 goals. With this, he remains on top of the top-scorers list. It also marked the fifth successive EPL season for him, in which he has surpassed 20 goals. Moreover, the 32-year-old forward has now scored a record 177 Premier League goals, putting him sixth on the list of the league’s all-time goal-scorers. Salah is level on 6th place with Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.

Only Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, Andy Cole and Sergio Aguero have scored more than him. Nonetheless, the veteran Egyptian forward looks to leave a mark in his final season at the Anfield as his contract comes to an end next summer.
