Salah Returns, Liverpool Roars: Anfield Sparks in 2-0 Triumph Over Brighton
Salah's return sparks Anfield as Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0

Salah's Return and the Result

Liverpool fans lit up Anfield as their Egyptian star Mohamed Salah returned to action after a recent dispute with the club and manager Arne Slot.

Salah came on as a substitute against Brighton in the 26th minute at Anfield, as Liverpool won 2-0 in the 16th round of the Premier League.

He helped fashion the second goal, with Hugo Ekitike scoring from a precise corner delivered by the Egyptian.

After the goal, Liverpool supporters sang Salah's iconic chant: Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running down the wing.

Salah had been at the center of controversy with his manager, criticising his sidelining in three straight matches, which led Slot to drop him for the Inter Milan clash in the Champions League.

Aftermath and Anthem

Ordered chants and celebration filled the stands as fans celebrated Salah's return and the 2-0 victory.

Punchlines: If football were stand-up, Salah would headline the wing. He doesn't just break lines, he breaks ankles.
