A brace from Portugal’s Diogo Jota and another from Mo Salah this Monday helped Liverpool return to triumph in the English Football League, at Leeds (6-1), at the end of the 31st round.
On Elland Road, the meeting was a real outing for the redwho came from four successive games without winning in the league, and they retain eighth position, but now with 47 points, two less than Brighton (seventh, with one game less).
Dutchman Cody Gapko canceled the ‘zero’ after 35 minutes and opened the way for Egypt’s Mo Salah to extend the lead in the 39th minute, on an assist from Diogo Jota.
In the second half, Colombian Luis Sinisterra (47) shortened distances for the hosts before the ‘nightmare’ began for the side with the worst defense (60 goals conceded) in the Premier League, against Jota’s surefire shots (52 and 74) , Salah (64), the second from the personal account, and used substitute Darwin Nuñez (90).
In the Merseyside crest, Portugal’s Fábio Carvalho was not on the game sheet.
The Championship is led in isolation by Arsenal, with 74 points, to the 70 of second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
