  • Mohammed Salah’s goal handed Manchester City their first defeat of the season
  • The Egyptian has always been a pain for the champions, and this was once again the case on Sunday, October 16
  • A video has since emerged showing just how much the 30-year-old has been tormenting Manchester City defenders

Mohammed Salah’s status as the ultimate big game player has been summed up in a stunning video that has gone viral on Twitter.

The Egyptian superstar was the match-winner for his side as Liverpool sank Manchester City in one of the most entertaining games of the 2022/23 season so far.

For his goal, he capitalized on Joan Cancelo’s error to run through on goal to put the ball past an exposed Ederson.

In truth, Salah would have scored a couple more if Liverpool was a bit more clinical in front of goal, but that will matter little since the Reds got all three points.

Notably, his goal against Manchester City is one of many he has scored against the Etihad landlords over the years.

Fans with long memories will know Salah has some incredible goals against Manchester City, including a long-range strike in a thrilling 4-3 win back in 2018.

He also famously chipped Ederson in the Champions League, and according to OptaJoe, he has been directly involved in 13 goals against the Citizens.

In addition, he has scored eight goals against Manchester City since the 2017/18 season, the most any player has scored against Guardiola’s side in that time.

As expected, fans who watched the video were quick to draw conclusions that Salah was Guardiola’s nightmare:

“People will only realise how good he is when he retires.Big game players and has broken most of the records.” One fan said.
“Man City’s nightmare. The Egyptian King,” another added.
“He’s gotta be the Best attacker in the premier league consistently over the past 5 seasons,” said another fan.

Darwin Nunez slammed for denying Salah goal

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on how Darwin Nunez was the subject of mass criticism on social media after his performance during Liverpool's Premier League meeting with Man City.

Jurgen Klopp drafted the summer signing in his attack to partner Mohamed Salah in the hunt for goals, when the Reds hosted City at Anfield on Sunday, October 16.

The highlight of the forward's performance was deep in the second half, when he was involved in a 3-on-1 moment.

Rather than pass the ball to Salah however, who was in a better position to score, the former Benfica star chose to take a shot at the goal.
