Egyptian scores record 70th in tide of goals

TO become a history-making team, you require legendary players.

Take a bow, Mo Salah.

Liverpool will become recordbreaking champions because he, along with Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk, has entered the pantheon of Anfield greats this season.

His goal here on 25 minutes, which turned this game and his side’s recent surprising slump in form, was a case in point.

A touch of true class to transform what was actually a poor pass from Mane, a rare vision to deceive the keeper and find the net.

It gave the Reds confidence and momentum as it levelled what was a controversial opening goal for Bournemouth.
