After setting up Cody Gakpo to open the scoring against the Premier League champions, Salah converted a penalty to secure all three points for his side and take them 11 points clear of Pep Guardiola’s struggling side.
The star performance comes days after Salah’s shock statement that Liverpool have not offered him a new contract, with his current lease expiring this summer, as he admitted a free transfer looked likely. Salah was once again asked about his future following his side’s important win, and he admitted he thought it would be his last Premier League showdown with City on Merseyside.
Salah talks about his future
“Honestly, it’s all in my head. So far it’s the last City game I’ll play for Liverpool (at Anfield), so I was just going to enjoy it,” he told Sky Sports. “The atmosphere was incredible, so I’m going to enjoy every second here.” I hope we win the championship and we’ll see what happens. »
Uncertainty around Salah’s future will persist until a move is confirmed by the Egypt star or Liverpool. In the meantime, the Reds will continue their quest for the league title when they travel to Newcastle on Wednesday.
