LIVERPOOL, England ¨C Liverpool manager Arne Slot said it was an easy decision to include talisman Mohamed Salah in the squad for Saturday¡¯s 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion, despite a turbulent week following the forward¡¯s scathing criticism of the team.
Salah was subsequently left at home for Liverpool¡¯s 1-0 Champions League win at Inter Milan on Tuesday, but he was one of the Reds¡¯ best players on Saturday at Anfield, much to the delight of fans who welcomed him with a standing ovation.
Salah¡¯s assist for Hugo Ekitike¡¯s second goal gave him the outright record for the most goal involvements for a single team in Premier League history with 277, passing Wayne Rooney¡¯s 276 with Manchester United.
