The Reds leapfrogged Manchester City to the top of the Premier League after a difficult 2-1 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Sadio Mane opened the scoring for the Reds but his goal was cancelled out by former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel after a howler from Virgil van Dijk.
Sergio Rico’s moment of panic as he brought down Sadio Mane in the box gave Liverpool a Penalty and substitute James Milner comfortably tucked it away to keep the Reds in the hunt for the title.
There was a lot to talk about on social media despite the victory with Mo Salah being the centre of attention.
The Egyptian was a threat down the right flank but, just like the last few games, hasn’t been himself in front of goal.
Salah missed a golden opportunity to score after a brilliant run and pass from Mane set him up for a shot at Rico. Here’s how Reds fans on Twitter reacted about their Egyptian king:
Phewwww??!!! Great result… terrible game!! Salah was not good today.. He lost too many balls, and finishing was off again… He looks like he’s trying too hard to rediscover his form from last year..

Salah is in terrible form atm. Looks tired and lacking confidence. The NT break couldnt have come at a better time. But yeah I would say city attackers have way more expected goals throughout the season. What mane is doing is phenomenal. He even did it to bayern. World class.
