Salah missed a glorious chance to put Liverpool ahead in the opening stages of the game.
Mohamed Salah is known for his deadly finishing and silky touches. He had a decent start to the season, which all points to another impressive goal haul after scoring twice in his first three games. However, his miss against Leicester on Saturday, unfortunately, set the tone for poor individual performance.

Salah had the goal at his mercy from around 12 yards out, following Firmino's shot in the opening minutes. But somehow he dragged it wide of the near post with his strong left foot. One of those days which he would like to forget and move on to the next game.
#6 Best Goal
Walker scored with a fierce shot from 25 yards out.
The best way to round things off is with the best strike of the weekend, coming from Manchester City's Kyle Walker. His thunderous low strike from 25 yards was the difference between the two sides as City saw off Newcastle by two goals to one.
He has never scored for City before, but what a time to score your first goal for the club, hammering an effort low to Martin Dubravka's right to ensure the Citizens head into the International break with their confidence high after previously dropping points against Wolves last weekend.

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.
Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.
Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.
I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
