WE WON'T SEE THE BACK OF MO SALAH JUST YET

Yes, there might be millions of reasons for the striker to go to Saudi... but thé love of the Kop and a successful team must see him stay

- ANDY DUNN

WITH 10 minutes on the clock, in Saudi-style heat, Mohamed Salah had not done a great deal.

He had watched Dominik Szoboszlai score his first sumptuous goal for Liverpool. But that was about it.

Still, the Anfield crowd felt compelled to serenade Salah with that familiar ditty.

There was a lot of orchestrated love for Mo during this most routine of victories for Jurgen Klopp's team. But if he really does need persuading to ignore the outlandishly extravagant overtures from Saudi Arabia, both the audience and Salah's team-mates did a fantastically comprehensive job.

Apart from the tens and tens of millions of obvious reasons, why would Salah swap this Mecca of football for Saudi Arabia?

This feels like a rejuvenated Liverpool, this sounds like a rejuvenated Klopp, this smells like a rejuvenated Anfield.

And with a front three of Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, the Reds have an attacking potency that will surely produce a realistic title challenge this season.

Salah combined and Nunez to force Liverpool's second, the latter's strike coming back off an upright and going in courtesy of Matty Cash's unfortunate intervention.
