Mohamed Salah applauding Liverpool fans at Anfield after Brighton win
Mohamed Salah is back in the headlines once again, and this time it is not just for what he did on the pitch.
The Liverpool talisman’s social media activity following the Reds’ 2-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield has gone viral, with fans and pundits alike reading between the lines amid ongoing speculation about his long-term future on Merseyside.
Salah returned to action after a turbulent week that saw him dropped following an explosive post-match outburst. Frustrated by three consecutive benchings, the Egyptian forward accused Liverpool decision-makers of “throwing him under the bus” after being left unused in a dramatic draw with Leeds.
The comments triggered widespread criticism, including from club legend Jamie Carragher, who insisted no player is bigger than Liverpool. With January approaching and long-standing Saudi Pro League interest resurfacing, many believed Salah’s time at Anfield could be nearing its end, despite his recent two-year contract extension.
Arne Slot recalled Salah to the matchday squad against Brighton, and circumstances soon forced his hand. An early injury to Joe Gomez prompted a tactical reshuffle, with Salah introduced inside the first half to a warm reception from the Anfield crowd.
The 33-year-old responded positively, registering an assist by delivering the corner that allowed Hugo Ekitike to head home and seal the win. Salah also went close to scoring himself and looked visibly emotional as he soaked in the applause at full-time.
After the match, Salah shared a video of himself applauding the Anfield faithful, smiling as chants rang out around the stadium. The clip struck a chord with fans, quickly racking up over 6.4 million views on X, alongside 170,000 likes and thousands of comments.
Many supporters interpreted the post as a subtle hint that bridges may be mending between Salah, the fans, and the club hierarchy. Others see it as a heartfelt moment of appreciation that could yet influence the outcome of ongoing discussions behind the scenes.
With crucial months ahead and Liverpool still competing on multiple fronts, Salah’s influence remains undeniable. Whether his viral post signals reconciliation or simply reflects a moment of emotion, one thing is clear: Mohamed Salah still commands the spotlight at Anfield.
As transfer rumours swirl and the January window looms, all eyes will remain fixed on Liverpool’s No.11 and the next chapter of his storied Reds career.
