Mohamed Salah was called into action early in Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Brighton. He provided an assist before leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Premier League leaders Arsenal needed two own goals, the second deep in stoppage time, to scrape a 2-1 home win over bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers and open a five-point gap while earlier on Saturday Mohamed Salah put aside a tumultuous week to help Liverpool beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-0.

Salah chose to speak to the assembled media at Elland Road as he felt the need to air his frustrations. He claimed he was being scapegoated for Liverpool's poor run of form, accused "someone" of wanting to force him out of the club, and said his relationship with Slot had become non-existent.
