Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah reveals his favourite goal of the season and it’s not one you’d expect

Having scored 43 goals for Liverpool in all competitions this season, Mohamed Salah undoubtedly has a few highlight-reel finishes.

Indeed, there was the delicate dink in the first leg against Roma, the twist and turn left-foot curler against Everton, the halfway lob over Ederson against Manchester City and even a looping header in a win over Bournemouth.

The 25-year-old has scored many and all types of goals this season, too many to even dilute into a straightforward top five.

But the Egyptian has earmarked his favourite finish of the campaign and it’s not one you would expected.

“The goal I scored against Spartak Moscow (at Anfield in the Champions League), which was the seventh for us,” he told ON Ent when asked about the goal which made him most happy this season.

“I couldn’t believe the team had scored so many goals and I didn’t get one of them.

“I knew I would be replaced during the match since we achieved a big result and had such an important game three days later.

“So I scored the sixth or seventh goal, I can’t remember but I would have been disappointed if I hadn’t scored that goal. That’s the best goal I scored for happiness.

“I always remember the coach wanted to a replace a player and I had to look at him and tell him through body language not to replace me without scoring.”
