Video: Incredible Salah slaloms past Atletico defence to put Liverpool one up

It was a lightning start at the Wanda Metropolitano for Liverpool, as Mo Salah continued his incredible form against Atletico Madrid.


In what was expected to be their toughest Champions League assignment of the group stage, the Reds came firing out of the blocks, taking the game to their hosts at every opportunity.



After seven minutes, their appeared to be no danger to Atleti when the Egyptian King picked up the ball out wide.


As so many other teams have found, you back off him at your peril, and the striker tip-toed his way through what seemed like the entire Atleti defence before unleashing a great strike to open the scoring.

Someone ‘Scammed’ Liverpool Fans Into Thinking Aston Villa Had Made It 3-3, Anfield Went Crazy

 Liverpool fans at Anfield were made to believe that Aston Villa had made it 3-3 against Manchester City, and won Jurgen Klopp's team the Premier League title. It was incredibly tension and drama filled final day of the season in England's top tier on Sunday, as City engineered an incredible comeback against Villa to defend their title. The visiting team at the Etihad really threw the race for top spot wide open as they took a 2-0 lead into the 70th minute, after goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho. Two goals from substitute Ilkay Gundogan and one from Rodri then put City ahead, whilst Liverpool scored twice late in their game with Wolves to take the lead.

 Manchester United return to Premier League action as they welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. Last season, Liverpool ran riot at the Theatre of Dreams and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be tasked with trying to change that this season.  United came from behind against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening, scoring three second half goals to take all three points in the group stage match, which puts them at the top of their group with six points in three matches. Two more wins and avoiding a defeat in the last group stage match should be enough to put United through this season. Liverpool sit in second place in the Premier League ahead of this match with 18 points, four more than United who sit in sixth place with 14 points.

  Harry Maguire, Manchester United captain. Harry Maguire will remain a first-choice player under Erik ten Hag for the upcoming season... Maguire, like many, endured an underwhelming campaign last season. As a result, there has been much speculation about the Englishman’s Manchester United career. The club currently have six senior central defenders at the club and Maguire faces competition from Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelöf, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, and Axel Tuanzebe. Further questions surfaced after the club had confirmed the signing of Lisandro Martínez.

Speaking in Melbourne, the manager was pressed on whether Maguire would...
