Iker Casillas, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper and legend, praised Egyptian Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star, after he led his team to a significant 4-0 victory over rival Manchester United on Tuesday, scoring two goals in the process. Salah became the first player in Premier League history to score 5 goals against Manchester United in a single season (3 in the first match and 2 in the second), and he equalized Steven Gerrard's record for the most goals scored in the history of matches between the two teams with nine goals.
Salah, in an interview with Sky Sports after the match, said: "As I've said many times, I have scored many goals for this club and I will continue to do so. Sometimes luck is not on your side, but the most important thing is for the team to keep winning. Goals will come with the team's victories; I wasn't worried about that."
The Spanish goalkeeper shared a tweet on his official Twitter account praising the Egyptian player: "An incredible player, unbelievable."
English newspapers praised Salah's performance against Manchester United, with The Telegraph headlining the match page: "Super Salah," while The Guardian stated: "Salah, Mane, and Diaz led the ruthless Liverpool campaign to the top." The Daily Express commented on the match: "Salah returns to scoring on a night when Liverpool seized the top spot."
