His celebratory post-win message was also linked to the ongoing contract negotiations between him and the club.
In his post, Salah expressed, “Top of the table is where this club belongs. Nothing less. All teams win matches but there’s only 1 champion in the end. That’s what we want. Thank you for your support last night. No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like.”
Liverpool climbs to the top of the table Liverpool, coming from behind, managed to defeat Brighton, thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Salah within two minutes in the second half.
On the same day, Arsenal and Manchester City were defeated by Newcastle and Bournemouth respectively.
The UK’s Mirror recently reported that Salah’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season with “no sign yet of any progression in talks of a new deal.”
Former title winner Micah Richards emphasized the importance of Liverpool retaining their star player.
“He’s unbelievable, he’s excellent – 164 goals, past Robbie Fowler, chasing Thierry Henry,” Richards told Match of the Day.
“There’s been talk about contracts, are they going to renew or not? They’ve got to sign him! It’s imperative to give him a two-year deal at the end of the season. He’s 32 now, he’ll be 33 in the summer so it’ll take him to 35. The thing is with Mo Salah: he doesn’t have to play well to score big goals in big moments – and that is the difference between a very good player and a top player,” he added.
Speaking after the victory over Brighton, Liverpool manager Arne Slot refrained from commenting on Salah’s situation. “It feels special because we faced Arsenal last week. They are a tough team with a clear vision for the game, and today we saw the same quality from City. Facing two top teams in quick succession and having to come from behind in both matches to secure results made today particularly rewarding, not just because of the other outcomes,” he said.
“What I do like a lot is that last week, two times we came one goal behind against Arsenal, 1-0 and 2-1, and two times we were able to fight ourselves back into the game,” he added.
