Gary Neville criticised Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah towards the final stages of the Premier League game against Arsenal while he was co-commentating on the match for Sky Sports.

The former Manchester United star was not impressed with Salah taking the ball off of his Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota when the Portugal international winger was in a better position to score.

It was in the 86th minute, and the Reds were leading 2-1, and Neville was not too pleased with Salah.

Jota did score just moments later, as Jurgen Klopp’s side got the better of Arsenal 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League.

Neville said during his co-commentary on Sky Sports Premier League (9:44pm, September 28, 2020): “Salah’s greed, which is one of his great strengths and why he scores so many goals, but he should have left it for his mate. It wasn’t his. He could never have got there.”

Stats

According to WhoScored, against Arsenal at Anfield on Monday evening, Salah took four shots of which one was on target, played two key passes, had a pass accuracy of 69.2%, took 51 touches, attempted one dribble, and made one tackle and one clearance.

So far this season, the 28-year-old Egypt international forward has scored three goals in three league games for the Reds, according to WhoScored.

During the 2019-20 campaign, Salah scored 19 goals and provided 10 assists in the league, and scored four goals and provided two assists in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.
