Striker excels ahead of Africa Cup of Nations
Liverpool FC has also extended its lead in the table thanks to an anniversary goal from Mohamed Salah. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team celebrated a 4-2 (0-0) home win against Newcastle United in the Premier League and is now three points ahead of pursuers Aston Villa. The “Magpies”, on the other hand, are the weakest team in the English upper house behind FC Brentford with just one win from their last five games.
After Salah initially missed a penalty in the 22nd minute, the striker from Egypt scored 1-0 in the 49th minute. It was the 31-year-old’s 150th Premier League goal for the Reds – no player in the club’s history has scored more goals in the league. After Alexander Isak’s equalizer (54th), Curtis Jones (74th) and Cody Gakpo (78th) put Liverpool back in the lead. Sven Botman (81′) only managed to score the next goal for Newcastle before the outstanding Salah (86′) marked the final score with a penalty kick. With 14 goals and eight assists, he currently leads both the goalscorer and top scorer rankings.

“At halftime I asked myself: Do you want to go to the national team with this performance? No, not really…” Salah explained to “Sky” before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations (January 13th to February 11th), which the Egyptian absolutely wants to win. “It means a lot to me to play for the national team. That’s something I don’t take for granted.”
