As he approaches 32 years of age in June, Salah continues to be a key player for his title-chasing team. The Liverpool number 11 was always involved when the home team pressed forward aggressively.Mohamed Salah’s statistical performance vs Brighton
Although he had 12 shots out of Liverpool’s 30 shots, Salah was only able to score once at Anfield, which may have frustrated him.The forward wasn’t only a nuisance in front of goal, though; he kept Brighton on their toes with three dribbles and tried shot after strike with the ball in his feet.With four duels won when it mattered most, it was expected that Liverpool’s clutch player would score another vital goal. He kept his composure and switched on even when the score was 1-1, helping Klopp’s team secure a massive win and maintaining pressure on Manchester City and Arsenal, who are currently below them in the league.
The guy who was showered with accolades at full-time was Alexis MacAllister, who once again proved his worth to the Reds’ cause in the 2-1 triumph, and he was the one who helped Salah on the game-winning goal.Alexis MacAllister’s statistical performance against BrightonSky Sports journalist Melissa Reddy even went so far as to call the Argentina international a “genius” after the game, and MacAllister was widely praised for his impressive performance against Roberto De Zerbi’s difficult Seagulls.In addition to accumulating 90 touches from midfield, MacAllister would complete five crucial passes, including the one that allowed Salah to quickly score by cutting open the Brighton defense.
The 5’9” creator had a great game against his previous employers, and MacAllister would go on to miss just five of sixty-three passes.Along with Salah, he would have his fair share of attempts on Brighton’s net, with five efforts on goal in an effort to extend Liverpool’s lead.According to Liverpool Echo journalist Ian Doyle, who gave MacAllister a perfect score of 9 out of 10, the Argentine midfielder is still one of Klopp’s first choices after such a stellar performance. Doyle said that MacAllister “probed” all game long, either by setting Brighton up with a pass or by winning the ball back with a perfectly timed crunching tackle.
