Salah Answers Renewal With Magic as Liverpool Edge Closer to Title

Mohamed Salah might not have scored against West Ham on Sunday but the Egyptian King stole the show with his creativity and vision as Liverpool secured dramatic 2 - 1 win at Anfield.

Magic without goals

Salah delivered sublime assist with the outside of his foot to set up Luis Díaz for Liverpool’s opening goal gliding past Oliver Scarles with ease before gifting the Colombian perfect ball into the box. It was moment of brilliance that echoed throughout the game.

Liverpool on the brink

Captain Virgil van Dijk sealed the win with late header pushing Liverpool 13 point clear at the top of the PL. With just 2 win needed from their remaining matches, the Reds're now on the verge of reclaiming the league crown.

Post renewal Salah looks hungry

This was Salah’s 1st match since signing new contract on Friday, ending months of speculation over his future. Liverpool’s official X page shared 49 second video showcasing his highlights, commenting:

"He looks hungry & more relaxed"

More than one gift

Salah wasn’t done. He later created another golden chance for Alexis Mac Allister with pinpoint through ball but the Argentine’s low shot was stopped by West Ham keeper Alphonse Areola.

The egyptian also produced stunning solo run late in the game controlling long ball with class skipping past Scarles again & unleashing fierce shot that went inches wide.

Closing in on history

Liverpool’s post match report highlighted Salah’s staggering record of 45 goal contributions this season — 27 goals & 18 assists — the highest ever in 38 game Premier League campaign.

He now stands just 1 goal away from becoming the all time top scoring foreign player in PL history, alongside Sergio Agüero on 184 goal.
