The Egyptian started his defending campaign in style when he helped Liverpool bludgeoned West Ham back to London.

A simple tap in, yes. However, it was the great movement of the team and incisive decision-making that was fantastic to get them off the mark. From the right back, Trent, with an inch-perfect pass to hit the key figure in the middle of the park on Sunday, Naby Keita.

He then ran the ball closer to the Hammers’ goalmouth and released Robertson, the other fullback with a delayed pass, who then squared it for the golden boot boy, Mohamed Salah. Great team goal from the Reds to start the English Premier League.
