Manchester City and Arsenal have received a clear title warning from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. This warning comes fresh off his performance when he scored in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday afternoon. Pep Guardiola’s side, Manchester City, faced a setback in their title pursuit as they picked up their second loss in merely four days. The week started with a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, who eliminated them from the Carabao Cup in the round of 16 on Wednesday night. Subsequently, Bournemouth delivered another blow with a 2-1 league triumph at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
Liverpool displayed resilience by overcoming a first-half deficit to defeat Brighton 2-1 at Anfield, courtesy of goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah. This win propelled the Merseyside club to the top of the Premier League standings after 10 games. Manchester City has been plagued with numerous injuries, with Rodri, Oscar Bobb, Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, and John Stones currently sidelined. In contrast, Liverpool’s title aspirations have been somewhat overshadowed by speculation concerning the futures of key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Significantly, Salah has yet to renew his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the current season.
Mohamed Salah said, “Top of the table is where this club belongs. Nothing less. All teams win matches but there’s only one champion in the end. That’s what we want. Thank you for your support last night. No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like.”
