In a thrilling match at Anfield, Liverpool showed their resilience and determination as they came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Leicester. Mohamed Salah, the star forward for the Reds, expressed that this season feels different from previous years, and it's easy to see why. With this win, Liverpool has extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table by a comfortable seven points.
The game started off on a shocking note as Jordan Ayew of Leicester scored the opening goal in just six minutes, beating the Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson with a smart finish. But the home team didn't let this early setback affect their spirit and continued to push forward. Just before half-time, Cody Gakpo scored a magnificent equalizer, which proved to be a crucial turning point for Liverpool.
In the second half, Liverpool displayed their true potential and showed why they are serious contenders for the title. With goals from Curtis Jones and Salah himself, they put the game to bed and secured another important win. This victory also meant that Liverpool took a commanding seven-point lead at the top, after Chelsea's shocking defeat to Fulham earlier in the day. With a game in hand over their rivals and a trip to West Ham coming up, things are looking bright for the Reds.
Speaking after the match, Salah admitted that Leicester had put up a tough fight in the first half, making it difficult for Liverpool to break through their defense. However, he was pleased with the team's performance and the result. He also highlighted the importance of Gakpo's equalizer just before half-time, which gave them the confidence to go out and win the game in the second half.
When informed that his goal was his 100th Premier League goal at Anfield, Salah was filled with pride and expressed his admiration for the elite company he has joined. He is only the fourth player, after Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, and Sergio Aguero, to reach this milestone in fewer than 150 games. However, his focus remains on the team's success, and he hopes to contribute to their quest for the Premier League title.
The last time Liverpool had a comfortable lead at this stage of the season was in 2018/19, when they were ahead by ten points. However, they eventually lost the title to Manchester City. But Salah believes that this time around, things feel different. He remains humble and focused, hoping that the team can continue their winning form and avoid any major injuries. With that, he's confident that they can go all the way and lift the Premier League trophy.
