EPL: Salah Shines as Liverpool Defeat Manchester City 2-0 Amid Contract Uncertainty

Mohamed Salah scored and assisted as Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2-0, but his future at Anfield remains uncertain with his contract set to expire.

Mohamed Salah delivered another scintillating performance as Liverpool defeated Premier League champions Manchester City 2-0, establishing a nine-point lead at the top of the table. However, the Egyptian forward's impressive display was overshadowed by uncertainty surrounding his future at Anfield, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Salah's exceptional skill created Liverpool's opening goal, which was scored by Cody Gakpo. The Egyptian talisman then sealed Manchester City's fate by converting a penalty in the second half. This achievement marked the 36th Premier League game in which Salah has both scored and assisted, equalling Wayne Rooney's record. Salah's contract situation has been a topic of discussion, and he recently revealed that the club had yet to offer him a new deal.

When asked if the victory felt extra special due to his contract situation, Salah expressed his thoughts, saying, “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.” Salah also praised the electric atmosphere at Anfield, stating, “The atmosphere was incredible, so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully, we just win the league, and we will see what will happen.”

“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.”

Mohamed Salah has maintained his remarkable form for Liverpool, scoring 224 goals in 369 appearances since joining the club in 2017, despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding his future at Anfield.
