Liverpool star Sadio Mane
Liverpool managed to achieve a landslide victory over Leeds United 6-0, in the match that brought them together on Wednesday at Anfield Road, the stronghold of Liverpool in the English Premier League.
Egyptian star Mohamed Salah opened Liverpool’s goals with a penalty kick in the 15th minute, before Cameroonian Joel Matip added the second goal in the 30th minute.
And Mohamed Salah returned after 5 minutes to add a new penalty kick against Leeds, writing down the 19th goal in the competition this season, consolidating his lead in the English Premier League top scorer by 7 goals over his Portuguese colleague Diogo Jota, his closest opponent.
In the second half, Senegalese Sadio Mane added the fourth and fifth goals for Liverpool in the 80th and 90th minutes, before Dutchman Virgil van Dijk concluded the hexagonal in stoppage time, to end the match with a 6-0 winner.
The win raised Liverpool’s tally to 60 points, cementing its place in second place in the English Premier League standings, only 3 points behind leaders Manchester City.
With this victory, the Reds ignited the remaining 12 rounds of the English Premier League, with their rival, Manchester City, the defending champion, as wasting a point would have a great price for either of them during the coming stages.
As a result of the wonderful performance of the Egyptian star Salah, he became the first player to score 10 goals or more and make at least the same this season in the Premier League, which he achieved for the third time in the competition, by scoring 19 goals and making 10 others.
