In the 13th round of the Premier League, Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 at home and led the Premier League standings with a 9-point advantage. In this game, Salah contributed 1 assist and 1 goal, and was officially selected as the best player of the game by the Premier League.

After the game, Salah, wearing the No. 11 Liverpool jersey, accepted an interview with the media again and said that this was the last time he represented the team at home against Manchester City. From the current point of view, Salah is very likely to leave the team next summer. Although he has performed well this season, Liverpool's top management is not willing to give him a high-paying contract extension.

The status of the two teams formed a sharp contrast. Manchester City seemed passive in this game, and Haaland, who was wearing a soccer shirt, performed relatively low-key. Manchester City suffered seven consecutive defeats, 11 points behind the top, and basically lost the hope of competing for the championship.
