Salah got the only goal of the game which saw the points head back to Anfield, but Shaqiri was heavily involved, getting on the ball a lot in the midfield area.
As the following tweets show, there was a lot of love for the Swiss winger.

For me, Shaqiri has been man of the match. Very cool under pressure. Finding his passes. Great first touches. An assist. Really good performance all round!

Shaqiri is definitely the man of the match today – looked way hungrier + quicker than Salah tbh @XS_11official @LFC #XS23

Shaqiri the Man of the Match for me. Joe Gomez and Gini Wijnaldum not far behind me
