Liverpool faced premier league counterparts Arsenal in a pre season friendly in Philadelphia as goals from Mo Salah and Fabio Carvalho was enough to give Arne Slot's men victory over the Gunners.
An early blunder from Kelleher which caused a scare among the Reds were quickly brushed off as the Reds started dominating the game afterwards.
Mo Salah finished calmly after a quick counter attacking pass from Harvey Elliot met the pace and vision of the Egyptian King.
Elliot later in the game gave a sublime assist to Fabio Carvalho to get the second goal for the Reds. Arsenal pulled one back courtesy Kai Havertz after the Gunners missed a lot of chances to score earlier in the game.
Speaking on the impact of Mo Salah on the young Reds, Arne Slot had these to say;
“Yes, but I don't think he's only this for this season: he has been that for several years. He came back really fit, but from what's been told to me that's normal for him. He always comes back really fit. But if I only use Mo as an example, I would not be fair to the other [senior] guys because the others are strong and fit as well. One of the main positive things until now is all the boys are fit, we have no injuries at all, so we hope we can continue like this and their fitness levels go up and up more. We felt today how hard it is and how tough it is to play against a team that wants to press us high – and we want to press them high. So, you need to be really fit to play games like this and we are working on this. We are heading in the right direction.” (LFCTV)
