After setting up Cody Gakpo's opening goal against the Premier League champions, Salah converted a penalty to secure the three points for his side and move them 11 points clear of Pep Guardiola's struggling City side.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The star performance comes days after Salah's bombshell claim that he has not been offered a new contract by Liverpool, with his current deal coming to an end in the summer, as he admitted a free transfer seems likely. Salah was quizzed on his future again in the wake of his team's important win, and he admitted he believes it will be his last Premier League showdown with City on Merseyside.
WHAT SALAH SAID
"Honestly it's in my head. Until now this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool [at Anfield] so I was just going to enjoy it," he said to Sky Sports. "The atmosphere was incredible so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully we just win the league and will see what will happen."

WHAT NEXT FOR SALAH?
Uncertainty around Salah's future will continue until a decision is confirmed by either the Egypt star or Liverpool. In the meantime, they will continue their push for the league title when they visit Newcastle on Wednesday.
