Slot hails 'unbelievable' Salah after matching Liverpool assist record

Slot's willingness to highlight Salah's perfectly weighted corner that Van Dijk headed home in the 61st minute signalled the continued rehabilitation of his relationship with the forward. Salah claimed the club had "thrown him under the bus" and made it clear he was not on good terms with Slot after he was dropped for several games amid a sustained dip in form earlier this season. The outburst prompted speculation that Salah could be sold, but he quickly cleared the air with Slot to get back in the Dutchman's line-up.
