Mohamed Salah had a difficult day at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace in Liverpool’s 2-1 loss.It was the first defeat of the season for Arne Slot’s team, as they struggled with the compact and composed home side, who grabbed a late winner through an Eddie Nketiah strike to take a deserved win.The game for fans was a tough watch, with an improved second-half performance and Federico Chiesa’s goal marred by an opening 45 minutes riddled with defensive mistakes and poor individual showings.Despite this, the Reds still sit top of the Premier League with a two-point gap on Arsenal, who won late against Newcastle United in their Super Sunday game to give them a confidence boost.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesSalah was one of those who struggled to make his mark on the game with one of his most muted performances in recent memory, barely getting a touch of the ball and being unable to contribute down the right-hand side.Mohamed Salah gifts young Crystal Palace fan Liverpool shirtWhile it is not his best performance, he will be hoping to get back to his usual consistent ways against Galatasaray and his former club Chelsea in two big games for Slot’s side after their first defeat this season.Despite the frustrating loss to Palace, the 33-year-old winger did something after the game for a young Eagles fan, which showed the type of character he is on and off the field.As the Egyptian and the team were walking off the pitch following the loss, Salah noticed the sign of a young girl who supported the home side asking for a shirt from one of the opposing players.In the video from TNT Sports Mexico, the Liverpool star kindly gifted her the shirt and walked down the tunnel, much to the delight of the girl, who was surprised but thankful that the league great gave her his shirt.It is one of those gestures that shows why football means so much to people, and the fact that Salah gave away his kit despite the loss showed his humility and kindness, which he has become known for since joining the club.Mohamed Salah still ahead of Lamine Yamal in assist tallyWhile it has not been a start that has seen the ‘Egyptian King’ produce many goal contributions, he is still ahead of Lamine Yamal in assists since last season.The Spaniard was placed second in the Ballon d’Or rankings ahead of Salah, who placed fourth overall despite his record-breaking league title-winning season on Merseyside.READ MORE: Liverpool fans have a lot to say after Mohamed Salah misses out on winning Ballon d’OrFollowing the 18-year-old’s brilliant assist to Robert Lewandowski, his number of assists in all competitions has now reached 24.24 – Lamine Yamal has recorded 24 assists for FC Barcelona since last season in all competitions – only Mohamed Salah (26) has assisted more goals among all players from Europe's top five leagues since then (Raphinha also has 24).
