Arne Slot believes that Mohamed Salah will continue to find the back of the net for Liverpool “for a long time,” even with the uncertainty surrounding his contract.

**‘No One Has to Feel Sorry for Pep’ – Slot on Why He Doesn’t Sympathise with Guardiola**

Arne Slot has expressed his belief that Mohamed Salah will continue to be a prolific scorer for Liverpool “for a long time.” This optimism follows the Egyptian’s impressive performance in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United. Salah not only netted twice but also provided the assist for Curtis Jones’ opener, showcasing his vital role in the match as Slot’s side fought back from behind on two occasions.

In a dramatic encounter at St James’ Park, Salah made history by breaking Wayne Rooney’s record for scoring and assisting in 36 separate Premier League games. The 32-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and while his future has been the subject of speculation, Slot remains optimistic that his star player will stay at the club.

“Every time we need him, he scores an important goal this season, and we’re hoping and expecting that he can continue this for a long time,” Slot told Amazon Prime. He praised Salah’s performance, particularly in the second half, highlighting his assist and a near-miss when he hit the bar. “Apart from the goals, he did more special things for us. So, great performance from him in the second half.”

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Salah’s contract, he continues to shatter records on the pitch. The winger matched his own record of scoring in seven consecutive Premier League matches on Wednesday evening and currently leads the league with 13 goals this season. Remarkably, Salah has only failed to score or assist in two of Liverpool’s 14 league matches, those being the 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest and the 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

**Kelleher ‘Made the Wrong Judgement’**

While Slot was pleased with his team’s resilience in coming back from two goals down, he acknowledged that goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher would be “disappointed” with Fabian Schar’s late equaliser. Kelleher opted to leave a long ball from Bruno Guimaraes, which appeared to be heading out of play, only for Schar to squeeze it in from a tight angle.

Slot credited Schar for his “unbelievable” finish but conceded that Kelleher “made the wrong judgement.” “I think, like all the players, he’s feeling disappointed,” Slot said. “Two times we were a goal down, so in those moments, you would have been happy with a point. But if you’re one minute before the end, 3-2 up, then you are close to a win. He made some important saves for us today, but he misjudged the cross.”

Schar himself admitted that scoring directly from the Brazilian’s cross was not his intention. “I was on the stretch, so I thought I would try to keep it in play and bring it into a dangerous area. I tried, but obviously, it was a great goal, great finish,” he said.

As the Premier League season unfolds, all eyes will be on Salah and Liverpool as they aim to maintain their momentum. Meanwhile, Slot’s side continues to show resilience in the face of adversity.
