Liverpool Extend Lead with Win Over Leicester as Mo Salah Talks Future
Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City on Boxing Day saw them stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points, with a game in hand. The Reds received a timely boost as both Manchester City and Chelsea dropped points earlier in the day—City were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton, while Chelsea suffered a 2-1 defeat to Fulham. This set the stage for Liverpool to seize the opportunity and strengthen their hold on the title race, which they did in commanding fashion.
Leicester took an early lead at Anfield, with Jordan Ayew scoring within the first 10 minutes, but Liverpool quickly regained their rhythm. The hosts created numerous chances and hit the woodwork twice in the first half, but it was Cody Gakpo who delivered the equalizer in stoppage time. The Dutchman cut inside from the left and curled a magnificent shot into the top corner to make it 1-1 just before the break.
Liverpool came out firing in the second half, and just four minutes in, Curtis Jones put them ahead with a composed finish from close range, thanks to an assist from Alexis Mac Allister. Gakpo thought he had added a third, but his goal was ruled out by VAR after a lengthy review. Nonetheless, Mohamed Salah sealed the victory in the 82nd minute, striking from a tight angle to make it 3-1.
Mo Salah Shines Amid Contract Uncertainty
Salah’s goal capped another brilliant performance, taking his Premier League tally to an impressive 16 goals and 11 assists in just 17 matches this season. In all competitions, the 32-year-old now has 19 goals and 15 assists in 25 games.
After the match, Salah was asked about his future but remained tight-lipped. In response, he told Express, “I wish fans a Happy New Year and I will see them at the next home game.” This marks a change from his previous openness when discussing contract matters.
Reports suggest that Liverpool is close to finalizing a new two-year deal with Salah, but fans remain anxious. Salah’s incredible contributions this season emphasize his importance to the team, and the idea of losing him would undoubtedly spark considerable discontent among supporters. Replacing his output would be a monumental task for the club.
