Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for Liverpool, leaving Arsenal stunned with a stunning solo goal in Philadelphia.
Liverpool will soon face Arsenal in a pre-season friendly match in the US. The Kop has a large fan base, which can be said to be superior to the Gunners at Lincoln Financial Stadium – home of the NFL team Philadelphia Eagles.
Salah proved his class against Arsenal.
However, Liverpool fans have reason to worry before the match starts, because of superstar Mohamed Salah’s disastrous warm-up performance. The 32-year-old was unable to put the ball in the net during shooting drills. Most of his shots went over the crossbar or missed the goal.
Salah appeared very disappointed after minutes of ‘warming up’ his body. But when he entered the match, everything was very different and he showed his star quality. From Harvey Elliott’s pass, Salah easily passed Oleksandr Zinchenko on the right wing, and escaped the blocks of both Gabriel and Jakub Kiwior. Then, the Egyptian player calmly put the ball into the net of Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein. It was Salah’s trademark move, and he showed crowds of soccer fans in America why he is ranked as one of the world’s top players.
Salah is one of Liverpool’s top scorers, currently ranked fifth in the club’s all-time scoring charts with 211 goals.
