A picture I took before Liverpool FC - Man City on 3 October 2021. The Kop paid a great tribute to Sir Roger Hunt. After a goalless first half, Sadio Mane put us 1-0 up. Phil Foden equalised, but Mohamed Salah made it 2-1 with a brilliant goal, later voted the Premier League Goal of the Season! 1/2
