Salah scored a goal + an assist, and Mudryk wasn’t even in the reserve
Liverpool won at home against Chelsea in the central match of the 8th round English Premier League – 2:1.
One goal was scored in the first half. At the end of the half hour, the hosts were awarded a penalty, which was converted by Mohamed Salah. Immediately after the break, Chelsea equalized (Nicholas Jackson scored), but the Reds immediately scored the second – Salah assisted Curtis Jones. The Egyptian has already completed 10 effective actions (5+5) in the current championship.
The match – especially the second half – was an even fight, but Chelsea failed to win back.
Let us remind you that the Blues’ Ukrainian winger Mikhail Mudryk was not even included in the squad for this match, despite the fact that he is not officially on the injured list.
The victory allowed Arne Slot’s team to return to first place. Chelsea dropped out of the Champions League zone at the end of the round and is now in sixth place.
Both teams will play their next matches midweek in European competition. The Reds will visit Leipzig on October 23 as part of the 3rd round of the Champions League, and the Blues will play away against Panathinaikos in the Conference League the next day.
