"It is a sight the Anfield crowd will never grow tired of. For almost nine years, it has been something of a matchday custom for Mohamed Salah to salute the Kop after dispatching a decisive Liverpool goal -- and so it proved again on Saturday night as the Egypt international helped Arne Slot's side to an impressive FA Cup fourth round victory over Brighton & Hove Albion."
"On Saturday, Salah assisted Dominik Szoboszlai before winning and scoring a penalty to secure the Reds' passage to the fifth round. Across all competitions, is the 15th time he has both scored and assisted in a single game for Liverpool since the start of last season; nine more times than any other Premier League player during this period ( Bukayo Saka and Erling Haaland have done it six times each)."
For almost nine years Mohamed Salah has saluted the Kop after decisive Liverpool goals. The 2025-26 season has largely been subdued for Salah, with his most notable moment the explosive interview after the 3-3 draw with Leeds in December. That interview targeted Arne Slot and the club hierarchy and raised questions about Salah's future at Anfield. Against Brighton Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai, won a penalty and converted it to secure Liverpool's place in the FA Cup fifth round. Across competitions this marks the 15th game since last season in which Salah both scored and assisted, nine more than any other Premier League player.
