So he was again; not by Salah's words after the game but by his presence in it. A few days after it seemed he may have played his last game for Liverpool, he played his next.

There was an immediate reason, too: Salah had helped put the game beyond Brighton, the supporters singing his name before he took the corner that Ekitike headed in." Mohamed Salah waves to The Kop after Liverpool's win over Brighton (Image: Getty) Andy Hunter - The Guardian - "There were tears in Mohamed Salah's eyes when he applauded the Kop after the final whistle and his family were present, as requested, for what the forward had suggested could be his goodbye to Liverpool. "Salah's name echoed from the Kop when he entered the pitch, when he delivered the corner that led to Hugo Ekitiké's second goal and after victory was secured.

And so it was that a first-half injury to a wing-back gave Mo Salah his stage back and an hour in which to suggest that he's not quite done with Anfield yet. In stoppage time, when a superb pass from Andrew Robertson found Federico Chiesa, Salah latched onto Chiesa's pass five yards out but the ball came quickly and he blasted his effort over, falling on his back and grinning at himself: one last goal, that would have been too perfect.
