Lethal front 3 lifts Liverpool into 2nd place in EPL
The scoring prowess of Liverpool’s forward line hasn’t been diminished by Philippe Coutinho’s departure to Barcelona.
For the second straight game, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane all scored as Liverpool climbed into second place in the English Premier League with a 4-1 home win over West Ham on Saturday.
The Reds passed a century of goals for the season, Salah moved onto 31 in all competitions — a joint-high 23 coming in the league — and Firmino continued the most efficient season of his career with a 22nd goal in 38 club appearances.
With Mane following up his hat trick against Porto in the Champions League last time out with another goal, Liverpool’s front three is hardly missing the individuality of Coutinho behind them two months after the Brazilian left for Spain.
