Mohamed Salah was substituted against Sheffield United as the score remained level at Anfield on Thursday night.

The Egyptian looked visibly frustrated when Jurgen Klopp opted to replace him with Harvey Elliott on the hour mark.

Darwin Nunez gave the home team the lead early on before a Connor Bradley own goal left the Reds trapped at the back.

Just two minutes later, Salah was one of two players replaced, as Ryan Gravenberch was replaced by Andy Robertson.

As he walked towards the bench, Salah shook his head and looked disappointed before taking his seat.

However, Klopp’s decision paid off when Alexis Mac Allister restored the lead for the Reds in the 77th minute.

Liverpool remain in a tight title race with Manchester City and Arsenal, and Klopp hopes his decision to replace Salah can help keep the winger fresh ahead of a difficult race.

Speaking last month, Klopp backed his striker to continue his incredible goalscoring form from previous years.

He said: “In seven years with him, the only problem we never had was consistency.”

“Mo is just delivering and delivering and delivering, his desire doesn’t stop, his quality is there and his desire to score doesn’t stop.

‘He has improved in many ways since he started here. That’s right, it won’t stop.

If the Reds are to lift the Premier League at the end of Klopp’s reign, they will need their star man to play his part.
