Really? Neville brands Liverpool ace Salah 'selfish and greedy'

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville branded Mohamed Salah as "selfish" after Liverpool's victory over Arsenal.

Salah snatched a chance away from Diogo Jota as the new signing searched for his first Liverpool goal.

Jota appeared set to put the game to bed as the ball looked to drop to him in acres of space in the box only for Salah to try and nick it for a chance of his own only to lose possession.

Whilst Salah's blushes were spared by Jota grabbing a vital third goal moments later, Neville warned Salah “you can't do that" in his post-match analysis.

He said on Sky Sports: “That is the selfish part of his game.

“He's thought, 'you're not having a goal already' and taken it off of him. It was Jota's ball.

“His greed is one of his great strengths but he should have left it for his mate. He was never going to get there.

“He [Jota] would have had a goal if it wasn't for Salah. You can't do that. As great a player as he is, he knows that's not a great look."
