Jeremie Frimpong’s late cross struck Hannibal Mejbri’s arm, prompting Michael Oliver to point to the spot as Mohamed Salah converted in stoppage time. Liverpool made it four wins from four to reach 12 points and stay alone at the top of the Premier League. Salah’s goal took his Premier League tally to 188, placing him fourth all-time behind Alan Shearer, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney. Liverpool reported fitness concerns as Milos Kerkez went off at 38 minutes as a precaution and Alexis Mac Allister twisted an ankle, with his Champions League availability reported as doubtful. Coach Arne Slot confirmed Alexander Isak did not feature due to limited training time after international duty.
