Following the goal, Liverpool dominated the game and Arsenal could not stop Liverpool’s attacks and the first half ended with a 1-0 lead for Liverpool.

Everything changed at the second half as Arsenal started to go for attack to equalize the score, which gave the chance to Mohamed Salah and his teammates to create more attacks.

Salah won a penalty for Liverpool after being tackled by Arsenal defender, David Luiz, and the Egyptian converted it to make the score 2-0.

Five minutes later, Salah led a counter attack and dribbled Luiz again to be one against one with the opponent’s goalkeeper and the Egyptian put the ball in the back of the net with a wonderful shot.

Liverpool continued their amazing run at the League with three victories from the first three games.
