"Hugo Ekitiké scored twice but it was Mohamed Salah that commanded centre stage with the Egyptian making an impressive return from his Liverpool exile as the Merseysiders eased past Brighton this afternoon."
"Ekitike opened the scoring after just 46 seconds - the fastest goal in the Premier League this season - and doubled the hosts' advantage on the hour mark."
"If this was to be his final Liverpool appearance - Salah now goes off to the Africa Cup of Nations before the transfer window opens in January with Saudi Arabian clubs circling - it was a fitting farewell, although he ought to have crowned it with a goal, missing a golden chance deep into injury time."
Mohamed Salah came on after 27 minutes for the injured Joe Gomez and produced a lively performance that energised Anfield. Hugo Ekitiké struck after 46 seconds, the fastest Premier League goal this season, and added a second on the hour. Salah whipped in the corner for Ekitiké’s second, moving the forward third in Premier League goal involvements. Salah missed a late opportunity in injury time. The win moved Liverpool to sixth, seven points behind leaders Arsenal, and Salah will depart for the Africa Cup of Nations amid reported Saudi transfer interest.
