Published by Webster

File image of Mohamed Salah.© AFP Mohamed Salah won the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year award for the third time on Friday after inspiring Liverpool’s march to a record-equalling 20th English title. Salah earned the prize after scoring 28 goals and producing 18 assists for Liverpool in the Premier League this season. The Egypt forward broke the record for the most goal involvements in a 38-game Premier League campaign as Arne Slot’s side romped to their first title since 2020. Salah secured almost 90 percent of the football writers’ votes, marking the biggest winning margin this century. Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk came second in the contest, with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak third and Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice fourth. Salah, who was previously given the award in 2017-18 and 2021-22, is now level with former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry as the only players to win it three times. The 32-year-old recently ended speculation over his future by signing a new two-year contract to stay at Anfield until 2027. Salah’s decision to …

Arne Slot ‘Incredibly Proud’ As Liverpool Celebrate Record-Equalling Title

Arne Slot ‘Incredibly Proud’ As Liverpool Celebrate Record-Equalling Title

Published by Webster

Arne Slot admitted he was “incredibly proud” after leading Liverpool to a record-equalling 20th English title with a 5-1 rout of Tottenham at an ecstatic Anfield on Sunday. Slot’s side wrapped up their first Premier League crown since 2020 with four games still to play, capping an incredible first season in charge for the Dutchman. Liverpool have lost just two of their 34 league matches since Slot arrived from Feyenoord to accept the daunting challenge of replacing the beloved Jurgen Klopp. The Reds are now level with Manchester United as the joint most successful club in English top-flight history. They brushed aside Tottenham to start their title party thanks to strikes from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah before Destiny Udogie’s own goal. Slot had been desperate to seal the title in front of Liverpool’s fanatical supporters, rather than have to celebrate at another stadium, and he was relieved to get the job done in stylish fashion. “It was clear we couldn’t lose this game. Everyone on the bus said …

Liverpool Set For ‘Big Summer’ Of Transfers, Says Club Captain Virgil Van Dijk

Published by Webster

Virgil van Dijk says he expects a “big summer” for Liverpool in the transfer market as he reportedly closes in on a deal that will secure his future at Anfield. Arne Slot’s men are on the brink of a record-equalling 20th English league title after Sunday’s 2-1 victory at home to West Ham, in which Van Dijk scored the winner. They are 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal with just six games to go and could wrap up the title next weekend if results go their way. Van Dijk’s own future is likely to be secured later this week, with the announcement of a two-year contract to match Mohamed Salah‘s new deal. Forward Federico Chiesa was the only outfield signing in last year’s post-season transfer window but he has rarely featured and Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be eager to strengthen. “I think Liverpool should be able to challenge for titles in the upcoming years,” said Van Dijk, who captained the team for the 100th time in the league against West Ham. “Whatever …

Liverpool Fight Back To Go 16 Points Clear As Title Moves Closer

Published by Webster

Liverpool survived a scare from Southampton as Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez inspired the fightback in a 3-1 win that lifted the Premier League leaders 16 points clear at the top on Saturday. Arne Slot’s side were rocked by Will Smallbone’s first half opener for bottom of the table Southampton at Anfield. But Liverpool recovered their composure after half-time and the much-maligned Nunez equalised before earning the penalty that Salah converted to put them ahead. Salah netted another penalty to reach 32 goals in all competitions this season as the Reds edged closer to a record-equalling 20th English title and their first since 2020. Second-placed Arsenal have two games in hand on Liverpool, including Sunday’s trip to Manchester United. But Liverpool’s relentless march to the title looks unstoppable no matter how the Gunners fare in the final weeks of what is shaping up to be a dream first season for Slot after replacing Jurgen Klopp. The Reds are chasing a treble and will look to finish off Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday after stealing …

Mohamed Salah-Inspired Liverpool Beat Manchester City To Open Up 11-Point Premier League Lead

Mohamed Salah-Inspired Liverpool Beat Manchester City To Open Up 11-Point Premier League Lead

Published by Webster

Liverpool took a giant stride towards the Premier League title on Sunday as a 2-0 win over Manchester City opened up an 11-point lead at the top of the table over Arsenal. Mohamed Salah was again Liverpool’s star performer as he opened the scoring with his 30th goal of the season before setting up Dominik Szoboszlai to double the lead before half-time. Just days after exiting the Champions League to Real Madrid, this was another sobering defeat for the dethroned English champions, who are now 20 points adrift of the leaders. So often during Pep Guardiola’s glorious reign, Liverpool have come up just short in English football’s great rivalry of recent years. However, their time to match Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles now appears just months away in Arne Slot’s first season in charge. Arsenal’s shock 1-0 home defeat to West Ham on Saturday had eased the pressure on Liverpool, that had built after dropping points in two of their last three games at Everton and Aston Villa. A trip to the Etihad has for …

Liverpool Held By Everton, Four Red Cards In Fiery Last Goodison Park Derby

James Tarkowski struck in the 98th minute to salvage a 2-2 draw for Everton against Liverpool as four red cards were issued after full-time on a dramatic final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday. Liverpool edge seven points clear at the top of the Premier League but were denied a vital win by Tarkowski’s blistering strike after Mohamed Salah put Arne Slot’s men in front. Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were then sent off as tempers flared at the final whistle on a night Liverpool will come to regret if they do not go on to lift a record-equalling 20th English top flight title. “Very tough,” said Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. “We saw the celebrations they had in the end so we know how much it meant for them but the fact is it was disappointing for us.” Everton are set to move to a new 53,000 capacity stadium in Liverpool’s Bramley Moore Dock next season and gave their home since 1892 a …

Jurgen Klopp Hopeful Mohamed Salah Will Agree New Liverpool Deal

Published by Webster

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed hope on Tuesday that Mohamed Salah will sign a new contract to stay at Anfield beyond the end of this season. “I hope he stays. He is a fantastic player, a fantastic human being, an outstanding athlete, the best ambassador your country could have. So I hope he will stay at Liverpool,” Klopp replied to a question about Salah from an Egyptian journalist during a press conference in Austria. Klopp was speaking at his unveiling as Red Bull’s head of global soccer, a role in which he will oversee the energy drinks conglomerate’s football empire.

Red Bull controls clubs in several countries around the world, including RB Leipzig in Klopp’s native Germany, while it recently acquired a minority stake in French second-tier side Paris FC. Liverpool, meanwhile, have enjoyed a seamless transition to life without Klopp, as they sit six points …
