Liverpool news: Mac Allister's Argentina edge past Salah's Egypt in World Cup epic

Alexis Mac Allister's Argentina were given an almighty scare before delivering a scarcely believable second-half comeback to break Mohamed Salah and Egypt's hearts and reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.

The reigning world champions had looked set for a shock exit against the Pharaohs, who led 2-0 with 11 minutes to go, before three late goals turned the game around amid huge controversy.

Enzo Fernandez's headed winner came on the counter-attack just moments after Egypt felt they had been denied a penalty for a trip on Salah, to the fury of many on their bench.

Now former Liverpool team-mates Salah and Mac Allister - who won the Premier League together in 2025 - embraced at full-time after the epic tie in Atlanta.
