'Inevitable that Salah would be the spearhead'
- Published
Liverpool are in the form and mood to wrap up a 20th English title after a commanding, ruthless performance to sink the side who have been their closest Premier League rivals for so long.
It was inevitable that Mohamed Salah would spearhead the Reds in this crucial game against Manchester City as he racked up more incredible numbers.
The first goal meant Salah has scored 30 or more goals in five separate seasons for Liverpool, a record he shares with Roger Hunt and Ian Rush.
Liverpool were efficiency personified, demonstrating how they have flourished under Arne Slot this season, while his City counterpart Pep Guardiola faces a huge rebuilding job.
Slot is too composed to call it, but with Liverpool holding an 11-point lead and having only lost one league game so far this season, he can surely sense the finishing line - even with 11 games left.
