JAKARTA - Liverpool won 4-0 over Manchester United in the continuation of the English Premier League, Wednesday, April 20 in the morning of GMT+7 (WIB). Mohamed Salah went crazy in this match.

Mohamed Salah scored two goals and one assist. The two goals made him a scourge for Manchester United this season.

Based on data reported by Opta, Mohamed Salah is the only one in the history of the English Premier League to score five goals against Manchester United in one season!

His nicks in that match also made him the second player to score and assist in a home and away game against the Red Devils. This achievement has only been made by Mesut Ozil in the 2015-2016 season.

Salah like rising from the grave in the match against MU. He seemed to take off a heavy burden after experiencing a goal famine.

Prior to the Liverpool vs Manchester United match, Mohamed Salah last scored on 12 March. That too through the white dot. While the goals he scored from open play were created on 16 February.

That means, it has been six games Salah has not scored a goal. In fact, in the last 11 matches, he could only score three goals from the penalty spot!

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said this was normal. He said, Salah just needed time to score again and his words were proven against Manchester United.
