Summary at a Glance

Salah’s onside and takes the ball, Szoboszlai peels off, gets into the space and Salah gives him the ball — goal.

Blockers stop the City players coming out, the ball is flicked round the corner, Salah is in loads of space.

When Josko Gvardiol, the Man City left-back, pushes up the field, Salah waits for that to happen when he’s in a space close to Nathan Ake, the left centre-back.

Saslah does the exact thing where he back-pedals into space, then as Gravenberch is about to play him the ball, Salah goes, “Not me, I don’t want it.

Liverpool are going to take a free corner to the front post, and they’ve got a man running off the front to play the ball around the corner.
