The winger was too hot to handle for the Sky Blues defenders as they tried and failed at preventing him from cutting right through.
Jurgen Klopp has lauded Mohamed Salah for scoring a “pure world class” against Manchester City.
Salah did not particularly impress in the first half of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Man City but was electric in the second period.
The Egyptian got his name on the scoresheet in the final 15 minutes of the game with an absolutely outstanding strike as got past the entire opposition backline before drilling the ball into the net with his weak foot.
“It is not the first goal [Mo Salah] has scored like this,” Klopp told post-match, speaking to BBC Radio 5Live. “I think against Napoli and Tottenham were similar goals but it is pure world class, what a player.
“He set up the first goal as well for Sadio and it was great goal as well.”
Klopp added on Liverpool’s performance: “Very average first half from us. Probably less than average, we were too passive with and without the ball and played right into City’s hands.
“That was the worst half we have played against them. I was more than pleased when I heard the whistle for half time because we had to adjust a lot of things and we did.
“Second half completely different. If we only played the second half I would have loved to have won but with the first half I am happy with the point.”
