#4 Mohamed Salah had a quiet game for Liverpool

While this is a very rare occurrence, Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah had a sub-par game and was substituted in the 69th minute. And interestingly, Liverpool scored three goals within 10 minutes from the time Salah went out of the pitch.

The Egytian international played his part in troubling the defence, but his stats were notably poor this time out. He unexpectedly had a 53% passing accuracy, worse than everyone else except Marc Albrighton, who finished the game with a 50% pass accuracy. Apart from this, Salah played just 15 passes throughout his time on the pitch, and only Vardy and Albrighton had fewer.

His attacking quality didn't come out either, as he took four shots with none being on target, and was dispossessed and caught offiside twice each.


#3 Roberto Firmino had a great game for Liverpool

Firmino would be glad to have put a brace past Schmeichel in a game that saw the Brazilian international take only three shots.

His first goal came from a well-taken header, following Alexander-Arnold's pinpoint cross, while his second came, yet again, from the young right-back's quick pass into the box. Firmino may have looked quiet at times, but he certainly stepped up for Liverpool when the ball came to him, successfully making two key passes, two dribbles, and scoring two goals.

Being in the right place at the right time was certainly a part of Firmino's flair, and he had a great game atthe King Power Stadium.
