Liverpool winger, Mohamed Salah, is confident that the Reds are going to do something ‘special’ amid the Premier League title race this season.

Salah spoke after Liverpool’s dramatic Premier League 2-1 comeback win over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Two goals from Salah and Elliott gave Liverpool the victory over Crystal Palace.

Liverpool were below par in the first half and looked likely to be heading for a defeat when Jean-Philippe Mateta’s penalty put Palace into a deserved lead.

The controversial sending off of Jordan Ayew in the 75th minute turned the contest in Liverpool’s favour.

The victory over Palace send Jurgen Klopp’s side top of the league ahead of Arsenal, who will reclaim back the top spot if they beat Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

“I see the mentality to keep fighting until the end and we did that in this game, the last game and the game before,” Salah said at his post-match interview after the game.

“It is something positive we can take from that. Of course we have a new team now because there are six or seven players who are new in the starting line-up.

“We just have to give them our advice. They are learning a lot and they are really nice guys who are able to learn.

“From 2019 I think there are similarities but the other guys achieved a lot we need to give them credit. But I am sure we can do something special this year.”

Some Nigerian football fans have reacted to Super Eagles’ 2-0 win against Algeria in the AFCON quarter-final tie on Saturday.

DAILY POST reports that goals from Victor Osimhen and Akor Adams ensured Nigeria defeated the Desert Foxes.

Reacting, some Nigerians wondered how come the Super Eagles failed to qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup following their brilliant display against Algeria.

Others hailed Eric Chelle’s men for putting in a magnificent performance against the North Africans.

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST on X:

@WhispersAfrica5, “Massive respect to the Super Eagles! All those early morning sessions, tactical drills, and team unity have turned this squad into a beast. Beating Algeria so convincingly didn’t happen by chance, it’s pure graft and heart. On to Morocco.”

@AbrahamAsi18962, “All players deserve massive accolades. They all display magnificent performances. It has been a while I saw Nigeria played this way. Total dominance throughout.

@FemiAyo593554, “The whole of Nigeria Team.. on fire. Osayi so solid like it’s onyemeachi.. Bassey and Semi Ajayi so solid and compose. Bruno the crosser, Ndidi, Iwobi the passer, onyeka the tank . Lookman, Akor the dreadful one, Oshimen the great.. Kudos to Marhez for saying “I AM AFRAID”.

@DanielIheke, “That’s was awesome display, brilliant performance by the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Congrats.

@Panda_521, “How did this super eagles team not qualify for the world cup with players like Osimhen and co?”

@youngskidmusic_, “What a win against the second unbeaten team in the tournament. Eric Chell deserved a chilled bottle of wine. The other guy knew what he was saying when he said he was afraid of Nigeria. He said it and we did it.”

@harrysone9 “NFF cost Nigerians the joy and place in the World Cup, but thank God they got the appointment of Eric Chelle right. So far so good; the Super Eagles have been a joy to watch.
Nigeria has a better chance of winning the AFCON than Arsenal has of winning the EPL under Mikel Arteta.”

@DanielRegha, “Super Eagles need to start playing like a team that’s ready and hungry to win the tournament; Nigeria’s performance slightly improved today, but it’s still very dissapointing considering the depth of the sqaud. Step it up already.”

@___astroblvck, “How did we not qualify for the world cup?! this is a world class performance..kudos boys.”

@AFC_EMMI, “The real challengers have arrived, Morocco is next.”
