Victors and Vanquished: Salah and Guirassy Shine Bright as Amorim’s Troubles Persist

What a thrilling weekend it was, as Mohamed Salah of Liverpool celebrated multiple achievements while Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy smashed in four goals. Meanwhile, challenges persist for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

Serhou Guirassy truly shone in Borussia Dortmund’s match against Union Berlin, netting an impressive four goals in a commanding 6-0 victory within the Bundesliga.

The striker from Guinea was unstoppable for Niko Kovac’s side, with three of his four goals arriving in a remarkable eight-minute burst during the second half.

It’s also worth mentioning the performance of midfielder Pascal Gross, who provided four assists in this emphatic win at Signal Iduna Park.

Real Valladolid’s return to La Liga has proven to be nothing short of challenging, as they faced a heavy 7-1 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao, marking their sixth consecutive loss.

This latest defeat leaves Valladolid stuck at the bottom of the table with only 15 points from 25 matches, and relegation seems almost inevitable at this stage.

To make matters worse, they have a shocking goal difference of -43, which is by far the worst in the league.

The campaign Mohamed Salah is having for Liverpool is simply remarkable, as showcased in their 2-0 triumph over Manchester City. With a goal and an assist at the Etihad Stadium, Salah became the first player across Europe’s top five leagues to be involved in 50 goals in all competitions this season.

He has scored and assisted in 11 different Premier League fixtures this year—the last player to achieve such feats was Lionel Messi while at Barcelona during the 2014/15 season.

In terms of woeful performances, Napoli could easily be highlighted as losers this week after losing their Serie A lead, and Amir Rrahmani’s actions contributed greatly to their 2-1 defeat against Como.

The Kosovan defender had a disastrous moment in the early stages, scoring an unusual own goal just seven minutes in as he attempted a back pass to his goalkeeper, Alex Meret.

Unfortunately, Meret was off his line and nowhere to be found, leaving Rrahmani a mere spectator as his pass cruelly rolled into an empty net.

On a brighter note, Estoril are enjoying a resurgence, boasting six victories and an unbeaten streak spanning eight matches under Scottish coach Ian Cathro. Their gritty 2-1 win against Rio Ave positions them as dark horses for a possible European spot.

The decisive goal came from Jandro Orellana in stoppage time, as he scored his first goal for Estoril with a stunning volley.

Losers: Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim seems to be enduring a tough time as Manchester United’s manager, even after the Red Devils managed to salvage a 2-2 draw against Everton.

That extra point feels rather insignificant given the team’s current form, as United have been floundering near the relegation zone since Amorim took over.

With the exception of the newly promoted sides, United’s recent performances are the worst in the Premier League—having achieved only four victories from their last 15 fixtures.
