Liverpool star praised vs Chelsea

Former Liverpool star, Michael Owen, has applauded the club’s forward Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian star’s impressive form during the Reds’ Premier League 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday.

The former football star was stunned by the way Salah sliced Chelsea’s defence open with a sublime pass to assist teammate Luis Diaz’s opener at Stamford Bridge.

A highlight from the match showed the moment Liverpool summer signing Alexis Mac Allister fizzed a long ball into Salah’s feet on the right flank.

Salah challenged Levi Colwill before cutting inside slightly and playing an ‘exquisite’ through pass past three Chelsea defenders.

Diaz stepped in perfectly and made no mistake as he put the ball back of the net with a first-time finish from his weak foot.

Analyzing the goal, Owen said on Premier League Productions (h/t HITC): “It was a very good goal, from back to front. Mac Allister is playing the deeper role in that midfield.

“But it was his ball that was sprayed out to Mo Salah. A lovely touch on the right foot of Salah, and then he plays this quite exquisite pass. This is a perfect angle for it. You won’t see a better pass this season.”
