Mo Salah may have accidentally confirmed big Liverpool contract update

Liverpool went one step closer to winning the Premier League after a 2-1 win against West Ham earlier today. 

The Reds went into the game with a chance to extend their lead to 13 points after Arsenal’s draw against Brentford on Saturday.

And they made the perfect start to the game, with Mo Salah, who signed new two-year contract with the club on Friday produced a stunning assist for Luis Diaz to make it 1-0.

The home side dominated the first half but only had one goal to show. The Hammers came out in the second half looking much more threatening and made got their deserved equaliser late in the 86th minute, with a mix up between Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk resulted in an own goal by the Scot.

But Liverpool captain made immediate amends at the other end just 3 minutes later. Mac Allister put in a delicious cross in from the corner and Van Dijk headed it in emphatically past the West Ham keeper to win the game for Liverpool.

Mo Salah slip of tongue confirms Van Dijk contract situation

In the post match interview with Sky Sports, Mohamed Salah appeared to have a slip of tongue, giving a huge hint on Virgil van DIjk’s contract situation.

While talking about his own deal he said:

“I am glad that we managed to do that early before the end of the season, and hopefully Virgil will be next.”

Immediately realising he should not have let it out, he laughed and said:

“I am just hoping – so hopefully! Look, he can do whatever he wants, but I would love to see him again next year.”

Both Salah and Van Dijk have been the driving force in Liverpool’s charge this season. Salah from the front and Van Dijk at the back. It was only fitting that both the players were involved in pushing the Reds across the line for another Premier League title.
