Egyptian forward, Mohamed Salah scored two times in the space of ninety minutes to beat Bournemouth as the Premier League leaders, Liverpool, moved nine points clear on Saturday.
Coach Arne Slot’s side took the lead in the first half when the Egyptian scored a penalty after Cody Gakpo appeared to trip over his own feet rather than go down from Lewis Cook’s challenge, as Bournemouth, were left ill-fated after referee Darren England’s on-field decision was upheld by VAR.
Salah added insult to injury for Bournemouth when he struck again late in the second half to extend Liverpool’s lead over second-placed Arsenal.
At the end of the Saturday challenge, the Egypt forward, now has 21 goals from 23 league games this season, reaching the 20-mark for the fifth time in his English top-flight career.
Meanwhile, the league leaders, Liverpool are unbeaten in 19 league games, winning 17 of their 23 top-flight matches in a remarkable run since Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in the close-season.
