Darwin Nunez raced free down the left wing and fired a cross into the box that looked towards onrushing Salah and Reds team-mate Cody Gakpo.

But Pickford didn't seem to notice the Egyptian superstar as he made a beeline to close down Gakpo near his far post.

Unfortunately for the England keeper, Salah sneaked in front and finished into an empty net that Pickford had vacated.

One said: "Pickford was in a different postcode."

Another said: "What is this positioning from Jordan Pickford?"

One posted: "Did Pickford not realise Salah was there?"

Another added: "The ball is clearly going to come in from Pickford’s right so why has the England No 1 decided to focus on the last attacker in the chain & ignore the attackers in front of goal?

"Poor positioning. It may not have stopped the goal but he’s left the goal open.."

On commentary, Gary Neville said: "It's not interesting, it's just bad.

"I've no idea what he's doing he makes a real mess of it and its very easy for Mo Salah."

Cody Gakpo doubled Liverpool's lead in the second half with the game finishing 2-0.
