Mo Salah 'thought he'd won the league' after Liverpool strike despite Man City comeback

Mohamed Salah could scarcely believe it when he came off the bench to put Liverpool ahead on the final day of the Premier League season at Anfield - only to realise Manchester City had already completed their comeback.

The Egyptian started as a sub in what was a must-win game for the Reds. They'd fallen behind against Wolves, but levelled before half-time. Seeking a crucial winning goal, Salah was called upon by Jurgen Klopp and came up with the goods in front of the Kop with just six minutes left.

Manchester City were having problems at the Ethiad, losing 2-0 to Aston Villa after 70 minutes. The last Salah knew before coming on was that Liverpool's title rivals were behind - and three points for Liverpool would see them claim the title on the last day of the season.
