'You may not have seen it': Neville says he spotted a moment between Szoboszlai and Salah before Reds scored
Yesterday at 01:55 PM
Liverpool enjoyed themselves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, romping to an impressive win over Spurs.
The Reds knew they would be top of the Premier League table at Christmas after Chelsea dropped points at Everton earlier in the day.
And Liverpool proceeded to hammer home that advantage with a dominant display in North London.
Key to it all – as ever – was Mohamed Salah. Salah was brilliant against Tottenham, bagging himself an assist and two goals.
The brace put him clear at the top of the Premier League scoring charts, with his second of the day expertly set up by Dominik Szoboszlai.
But after Szoboszlai had put it on a plate for Salah, Gary Neville claimed that the Egyptian had not been too happy with his teammate just a moment before.
Mo Salah spotted shaking head at Dom Szoboszlai
Salah became the first player in Premier League history to reach at least ten goals and ten assists before Christmas on Sunday.
He did ultimately hit 11 assists, with a late slider through for Luis Diaz.
But before that, and before his second of the afternoon, Salah was upset with Szoboszlai after the Hungarian failed to play him in on the counter-attack. Not may would have seen Mo’s annoyed reaction, but Neville did.
“You may not have seen it but Szoboszlai, when he went through and missed, he had Mo Salah up with him,” the pundit told Sky Sports after Salah’s second goal, Liverpool’s fifth..
“After that last miss from Szoboszlai he [Salah] was shaking his head at him, but this time he finds Salah with a lovely little pass.
“He’s there, where you’d expect him to be. Nothing more simple and it’s emphatic.”
Not a perfect day for Liverpool
Liverpool may have scored six at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but this little moment shows that there is still much to work on.
Szoboszlai could have certainly squared it to Salah to add just a little more weight into the Tottenham player’s legs.
As it was, the Reds still allowed Spurs back in it, letting them score two more before Diaz put the match truly to bed.
Arne Slot is unlikely to be overly pleased with his team as they conceded three goals for the second time in three Premier League games.
Yes, things ultimately went Liverpool’s way in emphatic fashion, but there is still so much to work on for the Reds.
