Fans who watched the 20th round home game of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) against Newcastle in Anfield, Liverpool, England, on the 2nd (Korea time) showed reactions such as “The state of Salah’s hair wet with rain… Wow.” and “Where is Salah’s hair?” after seeing Salah’s forehead. 카지노사이트 순위
Some fans said he looks similar to Bob the sideshow of Simpson’s cartoon character. Salah, whose trademark is rich in bomb hair, looked different from ordinary days, perhaps due to rain-soaked hair. It is undeniable that he looks a few years older than Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur FC) who was born in 1992.
Still, his soccer ability remained intact. Salah scored the first goal in the fourth minute of the second half to break the balance. In the 41st minute of the second half, when Liverpool took a narrow 3-2 lead with Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo’s goals after a slugfest, he sealed the victory with a penalty. Salah’s 13th-14th goal gave him the win with a score of 4-2.
On the day, Liverpool recorded 34 shots and a expected score (xG) of 7.27. This is the most expected score in a single game since the 2010-2011 season. That means that they had that many chances to score goals. The previous No. 1 ranking was 5.87, which was recorded by Manchester City against Watford in September 2019. At the time, Manchester City won the game 8-0.
Liverpool, which has achieved two consecutive wins and 13 consecutive undefeated matches in the league, recorded 45 points, solidifying its lead by beating second-ranked Aston Villa (42 points) by three points. Salah has moved up to the top of the scoring rankings with Erling Holan of Man City, who is recovering from injury.
He is two goals shy of Son, who scored his 12th goal at the last match against Bournemouth. Salah, who is tying for top scorer in the 2021-2022 season, and Korea’s flagship Son Heung-min will return after playing at the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup, respectively, to continue their race for top scorer.
