It was a fine substitute performance and he caused all sorts of problems for Everton’s tired back line.
"Call off the Kop cavalry charge against the PGMOL. Referees are Liverpool’s friends again. Three critical decisions settled the Merseyside derby in Jurgen Klopp’s favour. Two were correct as Ashley Young was dismissed for two yellow cards, and Michael Keane’s handball effectively settled the game following a VAR penalty check.
"Salah scored twice to shatter the resistance of a team reduced to 10 men by Ashley Young’s foolish dismissal in the 37th minute. The first arrived from a penalty awarded after VAR, not exactly Liverpool’s friend of late, sent Craig Pawson to review a clear handball he had missed by Michael Keane.
