Minute-by-minute report: Premier League action resumes with a humdinger. Join Scott Murray for all the action
Salah is booked for hoofing the ball away in anger, the award of a throw having gone Ake’s way instead of his. The daftest of bookings.There’s a VAR check for offside, but Akanji was playing Jota on in the middle of the park. Jota did exceptionally well to keep that move going, because when he failed to get a shot away, you suspected that was that.
City offer a way through here, though! A simple long ball down the middle by Alexander-Arnold, and Jota is clear! He heads forward but can’t get a shot away, so traps and cushions the ball back into Salah’s path. Salah romps in and sends a pearler into the top left. What a finish!And Manchester City’s keeper Ederson can only watch as the ball flies past him and Liverpool have the lead.
