Mohamed Salah brace against Stoke fires Liverpool up to fifth
Mohamed Salah came off the bench to score twice as Liverpool recorded a 3-0 victory over Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium this evening, taking them up to fifth in the Premier League table as a result.
Sadio Mane broke the deadlock for the visitors in the first half, but it took until the final 15 minutes for Liverpool to put the game to bed as Salah took his tally for the season up to 17 in all competitions.
The win lifts the Reds above Tottenham Hotspur into fifth place after their defeat to Leicester City on Tuesday night, while the Merseysiders have also kept a clean sheet away from home for the first time this season.
