‘The mentality of the boys is amazing’
Mac Allister shared his views post match: “We didn’t start as we wanted, but it was an amazing game. They are an amazing team. It was a tough match, but in the end we won and we are very happy.”
“The mentality of the boys is amazing. That is what you need when you are one-nil down. That is what we showed today,” he said.
“He [Salah] has been asking for some passes and assists from me. We have tried to be connected. In the first half, he missed a couple but in the second half he showed his quality.”
Full-time
Liverpool hold on in what was a nervous last few minutes to keep their title ambitions alive.
Salah proves the difference maker this half as Liverpool go, temporarily, to the top of the table at 67 points.
