Liverpool were involved in a rollercoaster game against Newcastle on Wednesday evening.
The Reds were far from their best on Tyneside, with the opening 45 minutes perhaps the worst of the Arne Slot era so far.
Passes were going astray, battles were being lost and Liverpool generally just looked out for the count.Somehow, the Reds rallied in the second-half, with Curtis Jones pulling them level.
Anthony Gordon then put Newcastle back in-front before the Mohamed Salah show commenced.Salah got two goals and had looked like he’d won yet another game for Liverpool in the Premier League. But for a late mistake from Caoimhin Kelleher, he would have.
Nevertheless, Salah’s go-ahead goal got a big reaction from Jamie Carragher watching on for The Overlap.
Jamie Carragher reveals Micah Richards textSalah’s second goal against Newcastle was absolutely delightful.
The touch, the turn, the finish. Sublime. Coming in the 83rd minute, it had looked like being an enormous winner for the Reds.Unfortunately, that didn’t turn out to be the case, but his two goals on the night still pinched what could be a crucial point for Liverpool.
And featuring on a live watch-along with Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Ian Wright, Carragher shared that fellow pundit Micah Richards even text him as the goal went in.
Micah Richards has just text me: ‘give him what he wants’,” laughed the Liverpool legend.
It may not have been a match-winning night from Mo, but those calls are getting louder by the game.
Mohamed Salah turns up again for LiverpoolSalah did not deserve to be on anything but a winning side on Wednesday evening.
The Egyptian absolutely put Liverpool on his back while others were delivering poor displays all around him.
And after swivelling on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pull-back, he really looked as if he’d given the Reds yet another enormous win.In the end, it wasn’t to be.
But now the Premier League’s outright top scorer, Salah is showing why he deserves to be handed his new deal.Although Carragher has been vocal on this issue over the past few weeks, even he cannot deny that any longer.
