Liverpool won 5-0 at Manchester United on October 24, 2021, in the Premier League. A very large victory during which the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, author of a hat-trick, totally eclipsed the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. The Reds winger has in the process become the top African scorer in the history of the Premier League with 107 goals, ahead of Ivorian Didier Drogba (104).
Certain matches mark the spirits and the history of a club. Liverpool’s victory at Manchester United falls into that category. This October 24, 2021, the Reds humiliated the Red Devils at Old Trafford, in the English Championship (Premier League). A one-way meeting between the two mastodons of English football.
A nightmare for Cristiano Ronaldo. The superstar should also have been excluded for a nasty kick to Curtis Jones (45th + 2). The Portuguese was also denied a goal for an offside position (53rd).
Mohamed Salah overtakes Didier Drogba
If there is anyone who has scored points for the award of the Ballon d’Or, it is obviously Mohamed Salah, in a sparkling state of form in recent weeks. The winger may have convinced the last jurors who have yet to vote for the best footballer of the year 2021 to do so in his favor.
The Egyptian has indeed become the top African scorer in the history of the English Championship (Premier League) with 107 goals, against 104 for the Ivorian Didier Drogba.
Faced with Mancunians, the Pharaoh did everything: decisive passer for Naby Keita (0-1, 5th), then scorer on an offering from the Guinean (0-3, 38th). Mohamed Salah then drives home the point just before the left break at ground level (0-4, 45th + 5).
The Portuguese Diogo Jota, preferred to the Senegalese Sadio Mané, had also doubled the bet on a cross from the side Trent Alexander-Arnold (0-2, 13th).
Paul Pogba excluded for a brutal tackle on Naby Keita
Mohamed Salah continues his festival in the second half, with the 0-5 in the 50th minute. On a loss of middle ball Paul Pogba, the African player 2017 and 2018 is served in depth and sinks ManU with a small dive from the left.
Pogba is not, however, at the end of his troubles. At the hour of play, the French, entered at the break, is logically excluded following a brutal tackle on Naby Keita which caused the exit of the Guinean on a stretcher.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United coach for three years, should not resist the humiliation. Many Red Devils fans left the stadium long before the final whistle, disgusted by the demonstration of their great rivals at Old Trafford …
