Liverpool Star Berated For Awesome ‘Diving’ Performance
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been slammed by the Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock for his part in the second goal scored by the Reds in their 2-0 away win over his team.
The Reds scored two second half goals against Welsh side Cardiff City to secure three important points in the race to win the Premier League title for the first time in history.
The league title chasers took the lead in the 56th minute through Georginio Wijnaldum off an assist from England international Trent Alexandre-Arnold
Egyptian international Salah was then adjudged to have been fouled by Cardiff City skipper Sean Morrison.
Liverpool substitute James Milner converted the resulting 81st minute penalty to give his team a 2-0 win.
During his post-match press conference after the game, Neil Warnock called out Mohamed Salah for his diving performance against the Bluebirds.
Salah was likened to popular British diver Tom Daley by the Cardiff City manager.
The result was significant for both sides in the quest to achieve their respective targets this season.
Liverpool have moved two points clear of holders Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table as a result of the victory with three games left to play this season though the Citizens have a game in hand.
On their part, Cardiff City are now three points off the last safe spot on the table presently occupied by Brighton and Hove Albion who have played a game less.
