Premier League Match Result – Hosts Everton Lost 1-4 to Liverpool
A beautiful, curling shot from Jordan Henderson put Liverpool ahead at 9 minutes, before the midfielder also set up Salah.
Henderson sent a fine through ball to Salah, who provided a clinical finish to make it 2-0.
Everton were seemingly on the ropes but they found a way back into the game seven minutes before the break.
Demarai Gray, after good work from his teammate, Brazilian Richarlison, scored the only Everton goal in the match.
The home side persisted in trying to equalize but Liverpool put the contest beyond their reach soon.
Salah whisked the ball away from Seamus Coleman and by providing the coolest of finishes, secured his brace for 1-3.
Then, finally, Diogo Jota completed the rout with an outstanding finish. The Portuguese forward spun away from Allan, with a brilliant turn, before blasting past Jordan Pickford’s near post.
“The message from the manager was that they will play physically strong and go 100% for every ball we just had to play our game and try to create chances, which we did,” said Salah.
