Salah’s Goals: More Than a Spice Rack!…
In an act of football lunacy akin to passing the ball to a seagull, Chris Sutton was flabbergasted when journalist Ian Ladyman decided to rate Bruno Fernandes above the rampaging Pharaoh of Anfield Road: Mohamed Salah! The Egyptian foot wizard has been busy working miracles and breaking records with his magic boots, scoring goals like they’re going out of style. Yet, the witless wonder Ladyman seemed to have his compass in a whirl, putting Salah third behind a duo stranger than pineapple on pizza.
Liverpool, a mere stone’s throw from the Premier League Crown, owes its glittering aura to Salah’s herculean exploits. With numbers shinier than a disco ball, Salah’s 27 goals and 18 assists have transformed the pitch into his personal playground, leaving defenders wishing they had jetpacks. Chris Sutton knew a calamity when he saw one, emphatically asking if Ladyman had taken a sip from the wrong sports drink, because there was surely foul play underfoot in that selection.
As the red tide threatens to engulf Spurs at Anfield to claim their rightful place, Sutton delivered his own line-up of heroes. Leading with Virgil ‘The Dutch Destroyer’ van Dijk and, of course, Salah—the Egyptian King. The wise Sutton declared it’s harder to argue against Salah’s contribution than it is to dribble past a full-grown Yeti and that, my friends, seals the deal tighter than a football sticker album full of rares!
