Salah Makes History with Record-Breaking Performance in Liverpool’s 6-3 Win Over Spurs
Mohamed Salah made history on Sunday following Liverpool’s thrilling 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The Egyptian winger, who was in sensational form, scored twice, helping his side secure a dominant win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With his brace, Salah set a new Premier League record as the first player in history to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas.
Salah now boasts 18 goals and 14 assists across all competitions for Liverpool, solidifying his place as one of the club’s key players.
After the match, Salah was asked about his record-breaking feat.
He downplayed the significance, stating, “Records? I just keep working hard!
We were quite good in front,” referring to his and his team’s performance in the match.
His humility was evident as he continued, “It’s great to achieve that at such a big club.
Wherever I am going to end my career I am happy about it.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
