Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah delivered another outstanding performance as his team defeated Premier League champions Manchester City 2-0, extending their lead to nine points at the top of the table. However, his future at Anfield remains uncertain.
The Egyptian talisman skillfully created the opener for Cody Gakpo and sealed City’s fate by converting a penalty after the break, meaning he has now scored and assisted in 36 Premier League games, equaling Wayne Rooney’s record.
Salah, 32, is out of contract at the end of the season and recently stated the club had yet to offer him a new deal.
“Honestly, it’s in my head. Until now this is the last Man City game I will play for Liverpool, so I was just going to enjoy it,” he told Sky Sports when asked if the victory felt extra special because of his contract situation.
“The atmosphere was incredible so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully, we just win the league and will see what will happen.”
Salah has bagged 224 goals for Liverpool from 369 matches and despite the uncertainty around his future, he continues to deliver the goods for the club he joined in 2017.
“It’s very special. I don’t take it for granted. I’m enjoying every minute here. It feels like home,” Salah said.
“It’s always a special feeling scoring at Anfield and winning games.”
