Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Manchester City was hailed as special by Mohamed Salah, marking a significant step in their Premier League title quest. Salah shone brightly at the Etihad Stadium, where Liverpool hadn't won since November 2015. His goal in the 14th minute and assist to Dominik Szoboszlai before half-time were crucial. This win places Liverpool 11 points ahead of Arsenal, following Arsenal's defeat to West Ham.

Salah expressed his thoughts on the match to Sky Sports, saying, "It's incredible, it's a very hard place to come here. A tough team, with an incredible manager." He emphasised the importance of staying calm amid pressure and focusing on winning each game. Salah has been instrumental this season, contributing to 41 goals in the Premier League through 25 goals and 16 assists.

Salah's performance this season is historic; he is the first player in Premier League history to contribute to over 40 goals in two different seasons. He previously achieved this feat in the 2017-18 season with 42 contributions. His ability to both score and assist has been unmatched, breaking previous records for such contributions in a single season.

With his contract ending soon, Salah has scored and assisted in 49 league matches across Europe's top five leagues. Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have surpassed him since Opta began recording these statistics in the 2006-07 season. When asked about his current form, Salah said, "I don't know, it's an opinion maybe people prefer other seasons. I prefer right now, trying to win the league."

Liverpool's next challenge is against Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday. With only 11 games left for Arne Slot's side, maintaining focus is crucial. Szoboszlai commented on the upcoming fixtures: "We have to keep going; it's going to be tough at home against Newcastle." He stressed the importance of staying calm and approaching each game individually.

The team's determination remains strong as they aim for another title. Salah highlighted their commitment: "We need another title for sure. We'll give it our best shot and we'll see." As Liverpool continues its campaign, every match becomes vital in securing their position at the top of the league.
