Jordan Pickford has admitted that Mohamed Salah got the better of him yesterday when the Liverpool winger slotted a penalty past the Everton keeper.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, the England international revealed that he thought Salah was going to blast the ball down the middle given the circumstances of the penalty.

However, the Liverpool superstar knew better than to do that as Salah beat his man to put the Reds ahead, with the winger scoring a second deep into stoppage time to secure a 2-0 win.

Indeed. the penalty was a turning point in the match, and Pickford admits that Salah played him like a fiddle when taking his spot-kick.

Pickford said when asked about how Salah approached his game-changing penalty yesterday: “He’s a good penalty taker.

“I just thought in that instant of the game, maybe because it was a pressure penalty that he might go down the middle. But he’s a really good penalty-taker and he got one on me today.”

Salah’s penalty saved Liverpool from Everton humiliation

Singular moments can define everything in football, and Salah’s penalty against Everton saved Liverpool from potential humiliation in the Premier League.

The Egyptian international is no stranger to clutch moments, and leaving Pickford frazzled between the sticks with his penalty was certainly up there for Salah.
