"The first ball he touched, he almost made an assist for [Alexis] Mac Allister. He was constantly involved in the fact we had Mo. Pleasing to see but not a surprise. It was an easy decision to put him in the squad. I have said many times before what has been said between us will stay between us."
"We needed him and he assisted to the 2-0 which is nice for us. We have been so many times this season on the wrong side of the set-piece battle. He goes to the Afcon and that means for us another player down. This is what we knew before the season started. Hopefully one or two players can come back from injury."
Mohamed Salah was introduced after 27 minutes at Anfield, replacing injured Joe Gomez, and supplied the corner that led to Hugo Ekitike's second goal in a 2-0 victory over Brighton. Ekitike opened the scoring after 46 seconds, the fastest Premier League goal this season. Salah had been omitted for the midweek trip to Inter Milan following an outburst at Leeds but was selected for the squad and made a decisive contribution. Manager Arne Slot described the inclusion as an easy decision, praised Salah's involvement, noted the upcoming AFCON will leave Liverpool short, and expressed hope injured players return.
