Mohamed Salah scored an absolute stunner to double Liverpool’s lead in a vital league clash against Chelsea.
Liverpool are taking on Chelsea in a significant Premier League clash as they bid for a first ever Premier League title.
And it looks like Jurgen Klopp’s side are sweeping away with another win in their kitty, as Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah scored within a minute of each other in the second half.
The first half was frustrating for both the sides, but Liverpool made a brilliant comeback in the second half.
Sadio Mane scored the first goal as he took a free header in front of Chelsea’s goal. However, the second goal was an absolute stunner from Mohamed Salah.
Mohamed Salah goal vs Chelsea:
Salah ran with the ball as he cut in from the right to create space for the shoot.
The Egyptian forward then took a brave attempt from outside the box and beat Chelsea’s keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga with extraordinary accuracy.

As things stand, Liverpool have now taken a point’s lead over Manchester City, although with a game extra played over Pep Guardiola’s side.
Chelsea, meanwhile, remains at fourth place in the league, and risk going down further as they will play a game more than Manchester United.
How Twitter reacted..
Mohamed Salah has now scored as many Premier League goals *against* Chelsea (2) as he managed *for* Chelsea in his one-and-a-half seasons at the club.
What an unbelievable strike. pic.twitter.com/t7opcn0Nwk
