EPL: Stoke 0-3 Liverpool


Salah celebrates his first goal of the night for Liverpool

Substitute Mohamed Salah scored twice as Liverpool comfortably beat Stoke 3-0 at the bet365 Stadium in the Premier League


Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead (17) with a neat finish from Dominic Solanke's set-up, but later in the first half Stoke felt Simon Mignolet should have been sent off rather than booked for taking out Mame Biram Diouf on the edge of the box.

Stoke had two clear chances to equalise through former Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen in the second half, but Liverpool rounded off the win through substitute Salah's fine volley (77) and neat finish (83) after coming on in the 67th minute.
 
The result means Liverpool are up to fifth in the Premier League, while Stoke go down to 16th, three points clear of the drop zone.

Liverpool scored with the first real chance of the game as Joe Gomez's centre at the byline fell to Solanke, who played in Mane to apply the finish over Lee Grant from six yards. Stoke felt the ball from Gomez had gone out of play, but replays show the whole ball was not over the line.

Solanke missed a chance to make it 2-0, forcing a save out of Grant from just inside the box in space, before a controversial moment late in the half.
 
After rushing out of his box for a 50/50 with Diouf, Mignolet caught the Stoke man without playing the ball on the edge, but referee Martin Atkinson showed a booking rather than a red, despite the fact Diouf was denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.

Mane came close to a second moments later, hitting the post after beating the Stoke offside trap, before Allen missed two fine chances to equalise after the break from inside the box.

Premier League top scorer Salah came on with 23 minutes remaining and made an instant impact, volleying home from 12 yards after Mane's fine work on the right byline.

Salah got his second moments later, capitalising on Erik Pieters' mistake to slot under Grant, his 17th goals in all competitions this season and extending Liverpool's unbeaten run to seven.
