Liverpool 2 Leicester City 1: Egyptian Messi Strikes, Solanke Stars As Liverpool Win First Trophy
Published: July 22, 2017
Africa's most expensive player Mohammed Salah netted his second goal in a Liverpool shirt in their 2-1 win over Leicester City in the final of the Premier League Asia Trophy.
Nigeria internationals Wilfred Ndidi and Ahmed Musa entered into the fray in the 56th and 65th minute respectively for the Foxes, and Liverpool new man Dominic Solanke appeared off the bench for the fourth time in pre-season following his introduction in the 65th minute.
Slimani opened the scoring for Leicester City after 12 minutes, but the lead lasted only eight minutes, with Salah, otherwise known as the Egyptian Messi, squeezing a header into the far corner to level for the Reds.
A minute before half-time, Philippe Coutinho scored what turned out to be the game-winner, the Brazilian cut inside on his right foot and fired the ball into the far corner.
In their next pre-season game, Jurgen Klopp's side square off against Hertha BSC in a week's time.
