Superstar Mohamed Salah has set a rare record in the English Premier League last night when Liverpool defeated Manchester United by four goals to none. The Egyptian has scored five goals in a Premier League season against a strong United side. The actress celebrated this achievement in the form of ‘Vrikshasana’ in yoga.
Mohamed Salah scored a hat-trick as Liverpool won by five goals at the start of the season at Manchester United. The match was last September. Salah scored in the 22nd and 85th minutes of the match at Anfield, the home of Liverpool yesterday.
In the fifth minute of the match, Salah made his presence known early in the game, paving the way for a goal from youngster Luis Diaz. Diaz just needed to step on Salah’s cross from the right side of the field.
Salah scored his first goal in the 22nd minute when he connected with Sadiou Mann in the pass box. Salah celebrated the achievement by throwing the ball into the net with the right hand of goalkeeper Diha in the form of a tree standing on one leg with his hands clasped. The celebration of his second goal from Diego Jota’s pass in the 85th minute was no different.
The concept of yoga is that the tree is used to reduce stress and to relax the muscles, knees and ankles. Yoga experts say that this asana strengthens all the nerves in the body.
Salah Yogasana, which is celebrated in the style of Islamic prostration, attracts a lot of attention. However, this is not the first time the actor has celebrated like this. Salah’s style of celebration was when he scored in the game against Chelsea in April 2019.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, the player revealed the reason for the celebration. ‘I am a yoga man. I do yoga. That’s what came to my mind when I scored … ‘
With yesterday’s double, Salah increased his tally to 20 goals this season. He is also the top scorer in the league. Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Hyung Min with 17 goals and Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo with 15 goals are in second and third place respectively. Liverpool’s Diego Jotta also has 15 goals.
