LeBron James sends three-word message to Mohamed Salah after Man City performance

LeBron James has praised Mohamed Salah following his stunning display for Liverpool against Manchester City.

The Reds had to settle for a point at Anfield in their final league fixture before the October international break.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring for Liverpool, before Phil Foden equalised for the visitors.

Salah got his ninth goal of the season with a sublime individual effort, but it would prove not to be the winner as Kevin De Bruyne restored parity in the latter stages of the second half.

The goal from the Egyptian certainly caught the eye, and he also provided the assist for Mane with a good piece of skill.

NBA star LeBron James, who is now a part owner of Liverpool, took to Twitter to show his praise for the forward.

Liverpool’s Twitter account posted a tweet about Salah saying: “Mo Salah is just absolutely unbelievable at football.”

James, quoting the tweet, simply wrote: “Yes he is!!”

James has been a club stakeholder for 10 years after buying his share in the Reds for £4.7m in 2011, before he became a minor partner in Fenway Sports Group, the club's owners, earlier this year.
