In the days when Salah and Mane were absent because of the African Cup, players such as Chamberlain, Van Dijk and Fabinho propped up the attacking line. The only constant was the “pie robot”, Arnold and Robertson’s sharp passing , to help teammates score goals! After a 3-0 home win over Brentford and a 3-1 away win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League today, there is a big strangeness in the Premier League data list. The top scorers and assists are all occupied by the Red Army players!
In this game, Robertson provided 2 assists, and this season, the league assists reached 8, ranking third in the Premier League assists list, and the top two are all his teammates – Arnold and 10 assists. Salah with 9 assists! In the Premier League scorer list, Salah leads the way with 16 goals, followed by Jota, who has scored 10 goals at present. They are also the only players who have scored in double figures in the league this season! It is worth mentioning that Mane scored 8 goals, ranking fourth in the Premier League scorer list, only 1 goal less than Vardy, who ranked third. In other words, if Mane scored one more goal in the league before this season, then Liverpool will occupy the top three in the Premier League scorer and assists list!
Because of their jaw-dropping attacking firepower, Liverpool are the top scoring team in the Premier League this season, scoring 58 goals in 22 games, followed by top Manchester City with 55 goals in 23 games. Crazy scoring ability is the basis for Liverpool to rank second in the league this season and have a chance to compete for the Premier League title. Earlier, due to the participation of Salah, Mane and Keita in the African Cup, the outside world believed that Liverpool would usher in a collapse. As a result, in the 5 games that the “African Three Heroes” missed, the coach Klopp led his team to 4 wins. With a record of one win and one draw, considering that the only draw was a 0-0 draw at home with Arsenal in the first round of the League Cup semi-final, and a 2-0 away victory in the second round, the Red Army can be described as having achieved a “complete victory” in an unfavorable situation. Record”, the League Cup, FA Cup and Premier League third-tier red.
Previously, Liverpool had lost hope for the title because of a wave of three consecutive league matches and Manchester City’s 12-game winning streak. However, after Manchester City drew 1-1 away with Southampton in this round of the league, and Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 3-1 away today, Klopp’s team once again saw the hope of winning the title!
At present, after 23 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City has achieved 18 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, with 57 points, ranking first in the standings. Liverpool, who have played one game less, have achieved 14 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, with 48 points, ranking first in the standings. Second place in the standings, the difference between the two teams narrowed to 9 points. Considering that Liverpool’s opponent without a game is the league home against relegation team Leeds United, if there is no accident, the Red Army will get this theoretical 3 points. In other words, Liverpool may only be 6 points behind Manchester City, and the next two teams have a direct duel. , and there are more than 10 games in the league, the suspense of the Premier League championship is back, especially in the next round of the league, Salah, Mane and Keita will all return from the African Cup to help.Return to Sohu, see more
