SALAH DOUBLE KEEPS SLOT'S BOYS IN DRIVING SAEAT AT TOP

- Ryan Taylor

MO SALAH struck twice as Liverpool took another giant leap towards the title at Bournemouth.

And the greatest compliment you can pay Arne Slot's relentless Reds is that this was the kind of gritty victory you attribute to champions.

A goal in either half from Liverpool's priceless Egyptian king, who hit a stunning second to make sure of all three points, sent the visitors nine points clear.

Whatever happens between Arsenal and Man City at The Emirates, it's plain to see that the leaders will now take some stopping after they cleared yet another important hurdle while also riding their luck.

On another day, Alexis Mac Allister might have seen red for a second yellow card while the first-half penalty awarded by referee Darren England was also dubious.
