Liverpool claimed a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, registering a third consecutive victory in the division.
Alexander Isak and Andrew Robertson gave them a two-goal cushion. Palace pulled one back through Daniel Munoz in the second half, before Florian Wirtz sealed the victory in stoppage time.
They have now climbed to fourth in the standings, following Aston Villa’s 1-0 loss at Fulham in the early kickoff.
The victory came at a cost, with forward Mohamed Salah picking up an injury before the hour mark. He was replaced by Jeremie Frimpong.
When asked if the injury would rule Mohamed Salah out for the rest of the season, Arne Slot gave a worrying response.
He told liverpoolfc.com: “My honest answer is yes, the way he came off. It went through his mind because there are only a few weeks to go but we are hoping he plays for us again. You have tests to do and then we have to wait for the prognosis.”
Salah is now likely to miss next Sunday’s clash at rivals Manchester United.
Salah delivered a good performance against Palace
The Egyptian’s performance has improved lately and he looked lively before his substitution.
He was controversially denied a penalty in the first half when he was brought down by Brennan Johnson after being slipped behind by Wirtz.
Salah was then involved in the opener, with his cross cleared by Chris Richards. Alexis McAllister then launched a shot which was superbly controlled by Isak, who applied the finish.
Liverpool will be hoping the 33-year-old features again before his departure this summer.
