Liverpool matchwinner Salah: I knew goals would return

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah was happy to prove the matchwinner against Manchester City.

Salah struck the only goal of the game on Sunday.

He later said, "This side is always hard for us, home or away, but the most important thing was to take three points.

"Our position is not the best and it is just one game so we have to carry on. Hopefully this gives us more confidence.

"I am not worried when there are chances, if I miss one then fine, they will come again. I worry when there are not chances.

"Today we created chances and when I missed the first I was calm because I knew the second would come. I just tried to stay focused and put it in the net because I missed the first one, and I got lucky."

Salah continued: "We don't have to think about the title at the moment, of course personally I love to play always for a title.

"In my head I am going to fight for it, but we need to focus more and take one game at a time.

"We don't have to feel more pressure that there is still a gap between us and first and second but of course we are going to play for a title.

"As players and a team, we should be in a better position, the players are excited to win and that gives us a good push for the next games."
