Mohamed Salah notched his 200th goal for Liverpool, igniting a late comeback that secured a 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace. The match saw Jean-Philippe Mateta give the hosts an unexpected lead from the penalty spot, following a lengthy VAR review. The video assistant referee had earlier overturned a penalty decision for Palace after a four-minute, 31-replay analysis. However, Liverpool’s task was made more manageable when Jordan Ayew received a second yellow card, reducing Palace to ten men.

Just one minute into added time, he provided an assist for Harvey Elliott, who struck a superb goal, bringing the Reds to the top of the Premier League table with just one point. The comeback dealt a blow to Arsenal, who had anticipated traveling to Aston Villa with their top-flight lead intact. However, they are now faced with a tough challenge to beat Unai Emery’s men who are third in the Premier League table, and are yet to lose a single home game in their last 14 encounters. Furthermore, the Saturday’s victory marked a historic milestone for Salah, making him the third Liverpool player to reach the 200-goal mark for the club. Salah, who scored his debut goal in the Premier League against Watford in 2017, has become a prolific scorer for Jurgen Klopp, overtaking records and establishing himself among Liverpool’s greats.
One of Salah’s relatives alerted the police of the incident, stating he noticed an open window and a mess in one of the villa’s rooms while stopping by. He also reported that several items, including satellite TV receivers were missing. Cops are now spooling through CCTV footage and interviewing security staff at the property as they search for the crooks. 
Darwin Nunez’s outrageous flick and Thibaut Courtois’ howler, which allowed Salah to score a tap-in, gave Liverpool the lead during the match which ended 5-2 in favour of Real Madrid. Salah assisted Nunez’s goal to register his 13th assist for Liverpool in the Champions League, more than any other player in the club’s successful history. Furthermore, the Egyptian’s strike was his 42nd for Liverpool in the competition, breaking Steven Gerrard’s record. 
“Our forward line was a well-drilled machine – ‘the front three’ [Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino]. Everyone was clear what we were doing. Everyone suffers [when it is not like that], that is clear.” Salah has just seven Premier League goals from his 19 starts in the competition this season, his worst ratio since he joined the club back in 2017.
