On a rather bittersweet day for Liverpool fans, Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal in just 162 appearances as the Reds beat Leeds United 3-0 at Elland Road.

‘The Egyptian King’, as his fans call him, broke the deadlock for Liverpool on the 20th minute, courtesy of a Trent Alexander-Arnold masterclass.

Coming in from the right wing, Alexander-Arnold hammed a classic low drilled pass across the edge of the six-yard box into the path of the Egyptian, who opened his foot up expertly to guide the ball into the far corner.

According to Hamzah Khalique Loonat of Liverpool FC News, all that, was delightfully and effortlessly easy for Salah, a player already with two Premier League Golden Boot awards to his name and the all-time single-season goals record (31).

On a game which he was one of the standout players, Mo’s 100th goal proved to be the only highlight of his game as he pulled out yet another one of his superb displays.

Nonetheless, Salah’s milestone was yet to be overshadowed by an incident during the encounter. Harvey Elliott suffered what appeared to be a suspected broken left leg during Liverpool’s Premier League game at Leeds United.

The 18-year-old Liverpool sensation who had just broken into the first team was on the receiving end of a strong challenge when Leeds substitute Pascal Struijk tussled for possession down the right wing during the second half.

Elliott underwent lengthy treatment with the game stopped for several minutes before the youngster left the field on a stretcher with his left leg in a brace.

After a VAR check, Struijk was given a straight red card for the challenge, leaving Leeds to play the final half-hour with 10 men.

Elliott was well enough to applaud the Leeds fans from his stretcher as they gave him an ovation as he left the stadium.

It is believed the midfielder was due to be replaced in any case by skipper Jordan Henderson with Liverpool leading 2-0.
