Arne Slot makes BRUTAL 115 charges dig at Man City

Mohamed Salah scored one goal and assisted another during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.

It was a joyous occasion on Merseyside as the Reds race 11 points clear of defending champions City, who look in disarray as Pep Guardiola fails to find a formula to replace Rodri.

However the shine was slightly taken from the result in the immediate aftermath after game-winning hero Salah spoke to the press.

While being presented with his player of the match award live on Sky Sports, the 32-year-old AGAIN made reference to the fact that this was shaping up to be his last season at the club.

Salah explained that it was likely to be his final game against City, echoing the kind of message he's been sending through the media in recent weeks.

That was followed up by a bombshell report in the press on Monday, suggesting that Salah was prepared to accept a one-year contract extension in order to prolong his stay at Liverpool.

The question was put to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot on Tuesday morning during his pre-match press conference ahead of the Newcastle game on Wednesday night.

Asked if Salah's comments were all part of a dance before the Egyptian King eventually agreed to a new contract, Slot couldn't resist a swipe at Man City over their 115 charges for alleged financial wrongdoing.

The current punishments enshrined in the Premier League rules suggest we could see a points deduction or the threat of expulsion from the league if the champions of the past four seasons are given a guilty verdict.

"Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 accusations so he expects them not to be in the Premier League next season," he said.

Last month City were dealt a major blow as part of their ongoing legal battles with the Premier League.

It provided a moment of comedy amid an escalation in the contract cold war between Liverpool's hierarchy and Salah's camp.

Hopefully this won't be the last season we see Salah strut his stuff for the Reds in the Premier League - whether Man City are there or not.
