Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah expressed an optimistic outlook on the team’s performance following their impressive 3-1 comeback victory against Leicester City, which propelled them to a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Salah noted a distinct feeling surrounding the club’s current form, emphasizing the importance of maintaining humility as they navigate the season.
Leicester made an early impact with a goal from Jordan Ayew in the sixth minute, but Liverpool quickly regrouped, with Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and Salah himself finding the net to secure a crucial win at Anfield. This victory positions Liverpool as strong favorites for the title, although Salah recalled how the team had previously faltered in similar situations, particularly during the 2018-19 season when they lost a significant lead to Manchester City.
Salah, who currently leads the league with 16 goals, remarked on the necessity of staying grounded while aiming for success, stating, “We had a few injuries when we were ahead and we lost it in the end. Hopefully, we carry on like that with no injuries and go on to win it.” He shared the optimistic hope that this season could be particularly special, expressing his dream of winning the Premier League for Liverpool.
In upcoming fixtures, Liverpool will face West Ham United away on Sunday, followed by a home match against Manchester United on January 5.
This season, fans can remain hopeful as Mohamed Salah and his teammates strive for consistency and resilience, showing promise for a triumphant campaign ahead.
