Liverpool star Mohamed Salah hit back at Reds icon Jamie Carragher after their 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.

The Egyptian star set up the first goal for Cody Gakpo to tap home and struck home from the penalty spot to put Arne Slot's men nine points clear at the top and 12 clear of City.

The 32-year-old had come under fire from Carragher in recent days after discussing his future publicly following their midweek victory over Real Madrid, with the Sky Sports pundit suggesting Salah was "selfish" for turning the attention back to him.

But Salah wasn't about to let Carragher's comments go unanswered in his post-match interview with team-mate Virgil van Dijk.

When Van Dijk was asked to choose between himself and Salah for man of the match, the Dutchman quipped: "I'm surprised Carragher wouldn't give it to you."

A smiling Salah then replied: "Ah no, he [Carragher] wouldn't give it to me. He wouldn't! I don't want to talk about this!"
