MOHAMED SALAH’S ENDURING consistency extended the Champions League ’s only 100 per cent record to six matches as his penalty secured Liverpool a 1-0 victory in Girona to virtually guarantee the leaders a place in the last eight.
And while the chatter and conjecture over the summer expiration of his contract – reports last week suggest he has at least now been offered a new deal – it is not affecting the 32-year-old’s output. But it was not only Salah’s reliability which Liverpool were indebted to as goalkeeper Alisson Becker, making his first appearance in two months after a hamstring injury, helped extended their run without conceding in this competition to just short of nine hours.
He was employed more than he would have hoped to have been in a first half during which the visitors allowed a strong start to slip and should have been behind at the break. But the hosts were undeterred and would have been ahead had it not been for Alisson and Daley Blind’s lack of composure in front of goal.
