Although some supporters will be disappointed with Liverpool’s defending for the two goals they conceded, the point rescued by Salah could prove crucial come the end of the season.

Salah’s record against Arsenal
The Egyptian King has scored 11 goals and provided a further two assists in his 15 Premier League matches against Arsenal.
The forward has also scored in each of his last three Premier League games against the Gunners and now has six goals and five assists in the competition this campaign.
Salah’s impressive record against the North London side means they are one of the teams he is most productive against.
The Reds’ no.11 has now scored 10 or more goals against three different Premier League opponents for Liverpool, with Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham all having suffered the most at the hands of the winger.
Salah’s contract situation
Despite his red-hot form at the start of this campaign, this could be the stars final season in a Liverpool shirt.
The 32-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and, although negotiations have reportedly started over an extension, supporters will be starting to worry that the Egyptian may leave Anfield.
After the Reds’ 3-0 victory over Manchester United, Salah even confirmed that he could leave Liverpool at the expiry of his current deal.
Liverpool supporters will be hopeful that an agreement can be reached and that the Egyptian King can keep on terrorising Premier League rivals for years to come.
