<a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/wow-robertson-doesnt-want-to-meet-messi-in-the-premier-league/" title="Wow! Robertson doesn't want to meet Messi in the Premier League“>Liverpool regained first place in the Premier League, briefly abandoned to Manchester City, by winning the top of the 8th day against Chelsea (2-1) on Sunday at Anfield, where Mohamed Salah was decisive.
The Egyptian, at the end of his contract the following summer, converted a penalty into effect (29th, 1-0) and offered a perfect cross to Curtis Jones (51st, 2-1), the other great architect of the success of the “Red. “
The 32-year-old striker now has five goals and five assists in eight league games (seven wins, one loss).
In the standings, the team led by Arne Slot (21 points) regains the first place that Manchester City held briefly (2nd, 20 pts) by winning 2-1 at Wolverhampton on Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal, who are third with 17 points, will lose big on the weekend. Their 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday pushes them back to four points behind the leaders, who they host next week.
Chelsea are in sixth place (14 pts) after conceding their second defeat of the season in the Premier League, two months after the first trip against four-time defending champion Manchester City.
Enzo Maresca’s “Blues” held their ground during the meeting in Liverpool and even got the best defense in the Premier League (three goals conceded), when Nicolas Jackson went in between Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk, at the bottom level (48th, 1-1).
The goal was confirmed after video review by the referee, who was in high demand at this exciting summit.
Liverpool had a goal disallowed for offside (32nd) and a penalty after a limited exit from Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez in front of Jones (45+2).
The latter, named man of the match, scored the penalty converted by Salah by causing a foul from Levi Colwill in the area.
