"Mohamed Salah just cannot stay out of the headlines at the moment. The Egyptian's future has been a subject of debate in recent days after he said Arne Slot had "thrown him under the bus" by benching him for three straight Premier League games. Those comments led to the Dutchman omitting his star forward entirely for a Champions League victory over Inter. But following clear-the-air talks with his head coach, Salah returned to the bench for Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton."
"An injury to Joe Gomez saw Salah enter the fray after just 26 minutes, and he showed no signs of rust by assisting Hugo Ekitike's second goal with an inch-perfect corner delivery. Having equalled the single-season high for Premier League goals and assists - 47, level with Andy Cole in 1993-94 and Alan Shearer in 1994-95 - as Liverpool won the title last term, Salah now has outright possession of another record."
Mohamed Salah publicly questioned Arne Slot after being benched for three straight Premier League games, prompting omission from a Champions League squad before returning to the bench following reconciliatory talks. An early substitution against Brighton due to Joe Gomez's injury saw Salah assist Hugo Ekitike with a precise corner. Salah now holds the Premier League record for goal involvements for a single club with 277 for Liverpool (188 goals, 89 assists), surpassing Wayne Rooney's 276 for Manchester United. Salah's overall Premier League goal involvements total 280, including three from his time at Chelsea.
