Everything continues to go well for Liverpool. Also at the top of the Premier League, the Reds consolidated their status as sole leader of the Champions League by winning at Girona (0-1) this Tuesday evening.
Deprived of a match this weekend after the postponement of the derby they were to play at Everton, Arne Slot’s men, after a few missed opportunities by Darwin Nunez, made the difference with a strange penalty whistled by the French referee Benoît Bastien, with the help of the VAR. Donny van de Beek unintentionally stepped on Luis Diaz’s foot, removing his left shoe. On the next support, in a sock, the Colombian slipped when launching his shot, which was reason enough to call a penalty in the eyes of the referees.
New goal for Salah
Mohamed Salah did not need to be asked to take care of his statistics (63rd), he who had missed his penalty the previous day against Lille, and here is Liverpool with 18 points on the clock while Girona, whose counter is stuck at 3 units, is practically eliminated. Note that the Reds recorded the return from injury of Alisson Becker, who had been absent for two months due to a thigh injury. The Brazilian was called upon several times at the start of the match, but he responded.
