Salah had to settle for a support role again when Brighton headed to Anfield, as he took up a place on the bench, but an unfortunate injury suffered by Joe Gomez led to changes being made inside 26 minutes.
Slot opted to send Salah on in place of stricken right-back Gomez, as he tinkered with his tactical set-up, and saw the 33-year-old cheered onto the field. The ‘Egyptian King’ of Anfield went on to claim an assist in a 2-0 victory - as he swung over the corner that allowed Hugo Ekitike to nod home on the hour mark and complete his match-winning brace.
Salah came close to scoring himself, as a couple of chances dropped his way, and was all smiles at the final whistle. He was serenaded by those in the stands when walking around the pitch and applauding at the end of an intriguing contest.
He has chosen to share a video of those celebrations on his social media channels, with Salah looking quite emotional as support from the crowd washed over him. His post has clocked up 6.4 million views on X, earning 170,000 likes and well over 5,000 comments.
