Jakarta -Liverpool is on fire after defeating Leicester City 3-1 in the Boxing Day match of the English Premier League. This victory further solidifies The Reds’ position at the top of the standings.
Although they were briefly shocked by Jordan Ayew’s quick goal in the 6th minute, Jurgen Klopp’s troops did not give up. Cody Gakpo became the savior with the equalizing goal just before halftime. In the second half, Liverpool played fiercely. Curtis Jones brought The Reds back into the lead in the 49th minute, before Mohamed Salah sealed the victory with a beautiful goal in the 82nd minute.
This victory feels special for Mohamed Salah. The star had previously come under scrutiny from netizens after posting a Christmas photo with his family. There is a unique phenomenon among fans that every time Salah posts a Christmas photo, his performance on the field tends to decline.
However, with his goal against Leicester, Salah seemed to silence the doubts and showed that he remains a mainstay for The Reds. Netizens also hope that this Egyptian footballer can be awarded the Ballon d’Or this season. Here is a summary of netizens’ tweets:
