Mohamed Salah was one of 12 players left behind by Liverpool for Wednesday's Champions League trip to PSV Eindhoven - but the team's top goalscorer didn't rest up
Mohamed Salah’s 35th-minute strike in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Ipswich Town at Anfield took the Egyptian king to 19 goals in 22 league matches this season. It was also his 176th goal in the league which moves him past Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (175) in the Premier League’s all-time goal scoring chart to seventh place.
It was the moment that might just have warmed the heart of Arne Slot, and ironically, it came when his own side conceded a goal. Liverpool were leading their final Champions League group stage match in PSV when 35 minutes in, Johan Bakayoko produced the game’s defining moment.
Mohamed Salah's future is back in the spotlight with the Liverpool forward apparently being targeted by the Saudi Pro League again. To add to the speculation, Turki Alashikh, who is a huge figure in Saudi Arabian sport and has helped make some of boxing's biggest fights, posted a mocked-up picture on social media of Salah in an Al-Hilal shirt.
