Manchester United legend Gary Neville was left awestruck by Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah’s sensational assist for Cody Gakpo in the clash with Manchester City on Sunday.
Salah was at his usual best and his ball to Gakpo earned huge plaudits in a 2-0 win.
Gakpo put the home side in front in the 12th minute after Salah found the Dutch attacker at the back post with an eye-of-the-needle low-driven cross.
Neville waxed lyrical while commentating on the game with Sky Sports.
“This is just world-class. That is unbelievable from Mo Salah. He looks up, he looks up, (Manuel) Akanji is nowhere near, he doesn’t try to block it off, (Stefan) Ortega can’t get there.”
“Kyle Walker at the back post doesn’t even know Gakpo is there but don’t take anything away from the fact that is vision, brilliance and precision from Salah to spot that pass.”
