Salah sets Premier League record after Brighton win

In the 2-0 win over Brighton, Mohamed Salah showed his influence in the second half with a well-performed corner kick, creating conditions for Hugo Ekitike to head the ball to seal the victory for Liverpool.

That means Salah has surpassed Wayne Rooney to become the top scorer and assist leader for a single Premier League club with a total of 277 goals and assists.

Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has scored 188 goals and had 89 assists in the Premier League. The Egyptian could have improved his form if his late-inning shot had not crossed the bar.

Salah was called back to the squad after being left out of the squad in the midweek win over Inter Milan in the Champions League.

The move comes after Salah interviewed reporters after the draw with Leeds United, the match in which he was pushed to the bench for the third consecutive time. His most controversial comment was when he said he felt like he had been "abandoned" by the club.

The reason Salah is not in Milan is because of his interview. I spoke to him yesterday and will not disclose the content of the conversation. This time is no exception, but action is more important than words.

Salah has returned to the squad and when I made the first change, I brought him in. He played up to the fans, even me, coach Arne Slot said after the match.

The win over Brighton was also Salah's last match before leaving for the African Football Cup. After the match, Salah walked around the stadium, waving his hands at the fans. But Arne Slot denied Salah's actions were a farewell to fans.

If Salah comes to the AFCON, I hope he plays well and during that time we have to play without him because there are not many players who are eligible to play at the moment, he said.

According to the Dutch strategist, all the noisy problems about Salah have been resolved. He shared: "For me, he is like all the other players now. You need to talk to the players if you are satisfied or not satisfied with something. But after what happened in the match against Leeds, there is nothing to say.
