About this goal
Salah controls with a brilliant touch down the right wing before cutting inside, a bit too easily, before lashing a thunderbolt into the far left corner.
Ratings
Aesthetically Pleasing 26/30
The shot moves all over the place before nearly bursting the net.
Technical Difficulty 24/30
It's an outstanding hit, different from his conventional curler, though he is given lots of time to execute it.
Uniqueness 17/20
The uniqueness here comes from just how ferociously the ball is struck. It is from long way out, but it is beyond Kepa before he knows it.
Importance 8/10
Second goal v Chelsea as Liverpool maintained a narrow lead over City.
Standard of Opposition 9/10
Chelsea
FootballCritic Verdict
A memorable goal against one of the elite teams in the league, and it sums up just how special a player Salah was in 18/19.
