Football/ King Salah leads Liverpool to victory, leaving England in awe
Liverpool ends the year in style, maintaining its position at the top of the Premier League after a commanding 5-0 victory over West Ham. This outstanding performance once again relies on Mohamed Salah, dubbed “King Salah” by the media. The Egyptian forward scored a goal and provided an assist, bringing his tally to 17 goals and 13 assists in the league. The Daily Star describes him as having an “assassin’s smile”, a nod to his clinical finishing ability. This win allows the Reds to finish 2024 with an 8-point lead over their nearest rivals.
Mohamed Salah continues to make history, setting a new record by becoming the first player in Premier League history to score a goal and provide an assist in 8 matches in a single season, a feat reported by the Daily Mirror. When asked about his future, the forward remains focused on his immediate goal: winning the Premier League, and he reiterates that there have been no changes in his contract negotiations.
Meanwhile, Manchester City has finally found their stride, winning 2-0 against Leicester and ending a run of 9 defeats in 12 matches. The Daily Mail celebrates the victory, especially thanks to goals from Savinho and Haaland, who has rediscovered his scoring form. However, City remains 14 points behind Liverpool, and the challenge of closing the gap at the top appears increasingly difficult.
