Salah celebrates his goal in Liverpool's EPL win over Brendfort
Mohamed Salah scored the second goal to seal a 2-0 victory for Liverpool in their English Premier League (EPL) clash with Brentford at Anfield on Sunday.
The Egyptian striker secured a deserved win after Luis Diaz had put Liverpool ahead in their first game of the season at Anfield.
Diaz sealed a rapid counter attack on the 13th minute, slotting in Diogo Jota’s pass at the near post to raise the Anfield roof. It was the 27-year-old Colombian winger’s 25th goal for the club, scored on his 100th appearance.
The hosts continued to threaten against a Brentford side that had not enjoyed success in five of their past six meetings, and they finally found the goal that ensured a perfect record in the new season through Salah’s well-taken strike on 70 minutes.
