Mohamed Salah Scores Brace As Liverpool Beat 10-Man Everton 2-0

Mohamed Salah scored a brace as Liverpool beat 10-men Everton at Anfield to go top of the Premier League table.

Mohamed Salah led Liverpool lost in a last-grasped match against Tottenham and also drew 2-2 with Brighton in the last game before the international break.

Klopp’s men have shown weakness in the midfield and at the back this season and have conceded nine goals in the opening eight matches.

However, in attack, the Reds have had no such issues as they have managed to find the back of the net 20 times this season.

The visitors Everton, on the other hand, have been struggling so far this season, after they managed to escape relegation last season.

Mohamed Salah struggled in the first half of the match as he failed to convert several of their chances with Jordon Pickford showing his skills.

However, Everton could no longer hold onto the Egyptian international as Mohamed Salah scored from the spot in the 75th minute.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had to work hard for all three points after Everton started the match brightly at Anfield.

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a golden chance to put the Toffees in front within the opening minute, with his heading going wide.

The most interesting part of the game came when Young was shown his marching orders in the first half, but Liverpool didn’t capitalize on it.

Egyptian ace Mohamed Salah stole the show in the second half and ensured Liverpool took all three points against struggling Everton.

Even though the display by Mohamed Salah inspired Liverpool’s victory, Sean Dyche, however, thought the Reds should have been a man down in the 65th minute.

The Everton boss was screaming for a second yellow card on the touchline when Konate fouled Beto while Everton were about to break away.

Konate had already been booked in the first-half of the match and Dyche felt that Konate should have been sent off for a second bookable offence.

This victory against Everton means that Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League table at least for the time being – with Manchester City in action at 3pm.

The brace by Mohamed Salah also meant that the Reds are now on 20 points from their opening nine matches, same as Arsenal and Tottenham, with the two still yet to play their matches this weekend.

The win inspired by Mohamed Salah, means that Sean Dyche’s men remain 16th after losing their fifth league match of the season.
