Liverpool star Mohamed Salah scored a stunning goal against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, leading to massive praise from Gary Neville.

The Reds had taken the lead at Anfield as Salah’s superb pass set up a Sadio Mane opener.

Phil Foden buried an inch-perfect finish from a tight angle to bring City level, but Salah then took centre stage with an outstanding goal.

Salah collected a pass from Curtis Jones in the right channel, shrugging off Joao Cancelo’s initial challenge.

Salah then managed to effortlessly glide past Bernardo Silva and turn Aymeric Laporte inside out.

On his weaker right foot, Salah gave Ederson absolutely no chance, giving Liverpool a 2-1 lead.

It didn’t last as Kevin De Bruyne equalised again for City, but Salah’s goal is all anybody is talking about after Liverpool’s draw.

Pundit Neville may not exactly like Liverpool very much, but he couldn’t say enough about how good Salah’s goal was on Sunday.

Neville told Sky Sports (76min) that he thought Salah’s goal was ‘absolutely brilliant’ and ‘something else’ entirely from the Egyptian.

Neville praised the strength, balance and skill shown by Salah as well as the finish, before adding that he is a ‘different level’ right now.

“It’s something else this from Mo Salah,” said Neville. “The strength initially, the balance and the skill, the twisting, the turning, the change of direction and then the finish on the right foot. This is absolutely brilliant, what a goal this is by Mo Salah.”

“It was so, so good. He is a different level, Mo Salah,” he added.
