Mohamed Salah scored twice for Liverpool in their 3-1 win over Arsenal on Saturday, taking him to three goals for the season in the Reds’ first three Premier League games.

On Twitter, Liverpool fan @ftbljosh posted a video of Salah’s second goal with the added opinion that “Martin Tyler needs to retire and go on holiday.”

Tyler, who was commentating on the match for Sky Sports, didn’t discernibly raise his voice after the Liverpool forward finished off the move, even if he did use the words “superb Salah” and “sensational” in the immediate aftermath of the goal. [via Sky Sports Football on YouTube]
The commentator angered some Reds supporters in 2015 when he exclaimed “Oh yes” in response to Anthony Martial’s goal on his Manchester United debut against Liverpool, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
Over the weekend, these Liverpool fans on Twitter were unimpressed with a perceived lack of reaction from Tyler to Salah’s second goal against Arsenal:
Hates us

His commentaries are so depressing

The most overrated commentator ever. Commentates on a game like David Attenbourough

After they scored in the 85th min, he got more excited about that goal which was a consolation then any of our goals. Then after that despite us having a 2 goal lead and being comfortable said “the Kop are now nervous”.
