Mohammed Salah once again proved his value to Liverpool, delivering a stellar performance in their 2-0 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City.
The win not only extended Liverpool’s lead at the top of the table to nine points but also brought questions about Mohammed Salah’s future at Anfield into sharper focus.
The Egyptian maestro was instrumental, setting up Cody Gakpo’s opening goal with his trademark flair and sealing the win with a composed penalty.
His assist and goal added to his remarkable Premier League record, now equaling Wayne Rooney with contributions (goals and assists) in 36 matches.
Despite his brilliance on the pitch, Mohammed Salah’s future remains uncertain. At 32, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, Salah admitted the thought of leaving Liverpool has crossed his mind.
Speaking after the game, he shared his mixed emotions:
“Honestly, it’s in my head. This might be my last game against City at Anfield. I wanted to enjoy every moment. The atmosphere was incredible. My focus is on winning the league; after that, we’ll see.”
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Mohammed Salah has been pivotal, scoring 224 goals in 369 appearances and earning a place among the club’s all-time greats. Reflecting on his time at Anfield, he added:
“It’s always special to score here and win games. This place feels like home, and I cherish every moment.”
While his performances remain top-notch, the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation has left fans on edge, hoping their talismanic forward stays to lead Liverpool to more glory.
