Antoine Griezmann’s pair came to a nought even as he was sent off for Atlético Madrid as a display of sensational football by Mohamed Salah saw Liverpool claim the top spot in group B of UEFA Champions League last night.
Atlético Madrid fell to a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool whose in-form attacker Salah netted a double, including the winner from the penalty spot.
Mo Salah became the first Liverpool player to score in nine matches in a row and he did it in style with a match-winning brace. He’s now scored 12 goals (9.18 xG) in 11 games this season.
Liverpool is now unbeaten in 21 matches in all competitions. It is their longest competitive unbeaten streak since a run of 24 from January to May 1989.
