Life comes at you fast when you are a Premier League full back playing against the formidable force of Mohamed Salah. Just ask Ipswich's Leif Davis — or hundreds of other talented defenders who have been left helpless by the 'Egyptian King'.
In the first half at Portman Road on Saturday, Davis looked imperious in defence and every bit an international star in the making. He could have emptied his pockets at the break and found his phone, wallet, keys and Salah — as the old joke goes.
But before he knew it, Davis was chasing Salah's shadow and looked bereft of ideas.
