Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah produced another inspirational display as the Reds beat Premier League champions Manchester City 2-0 to open a nine-point lead at the summit.
The Egyptian talisman skillfully created Liverpool’s opener for Cody Gakpo and sealed City’s fate by converting a penalty after the break. He has now scored and assisted in 36 Premier League games, equalling 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 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 win the league and will see what will happen.”
Salah has now scored 11 league goals this season, just one behind top scorer Erling Haaland. It is clear that if the Egyptian does leave in the summer, he will do so on a high.
