Treasure's chest! Salah stars for Reds in comeback win

Arne Slot’s side were looking to take advantage of Manchester City’s third consecutive league defeat on Saturday but were rocked by a determined and at times ferocious display from the Saints, who briefly led after goals from Adam Armstrong and Mateus Fernandes cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s first-half strike.

imageLiverpool’s opener had come from a costly Southampton error in defence, and there were two more after the break. First, goalkeeper Alex McCarthy was caught in no-man’s land from a long ball allowing Salah to edge the ball past him and over the line, then 10 minutes from the end, Yukinari Sugawara’s needless handball in the box gave Salah the chance to win it, which he duly took.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole

As you might expect, the “sermon near the Mount”, as delivered by Donald Trump to the Knesset in Jerusalem, was less a case of “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God” as “Blessed are you lot to have me, and you will call me your peacemaker.”
