Gabby Logan apologises for Mo Salah blunder on live TV days after new MOTD role confirmed

Presenter Gabby Logan apologised after making a huge Mohamed Salah related blunder live on Amazon Prime.

On Tuesday night, Liverpool welcomed French Ligue 1 side Lille to Anfield as they continued their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Goals from Salah and Harvey Elliott sealed a 2-1 victory, putting them one point away from securing top spot in the first phase of the revamped competition.

Liverpool's match against Lille was broadcast live on Amazon Prime and was hosted by Logan, with the likes of Daniel Sturridge, Robbie Fowler and Luis Garcia as pundits.

During the half-time interval, the popular presenter made a huge blunder as she called Liverpool talisman Salah 'Mo Farah'.

She was heard saying: "Mo Farah is smelling blood."

Farah is one of Great Britain's best-ever athletes having won four Olympic gold medals in the 5000m and 10,000m events.

After the match, former Reds striker Fowler took the opportunity to make fun of Logan's mistake.

He said: "It was a night for a couple of firsts. The first Liverpool player to 50 goals and first Liverpool player to become Mo Farah. He must've walked 10,000m easy."

In response, Logan said: "This Champions League new format is a marathon not a sprint. We're not normally here in January.

"When sporting worlds collide, apologies. Sorry that Mo Farah is trending on X. Mo Salah, however, should be trending because he a phenomena."

New Match of the Day presenters confirmed after Gary Lineker exit news

Logan will embark on a new role next season, after being confirmed as a new host on BBC's Match of the Day earlier in the month.

The 51-year-old will share the duty with fellow presenters Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates.

Speaking about the MOTD role, Logan said: "There's an enormous responsibility to make sure we continue to evolve while at the same time respecting the traditions of Match of the Day.

"Everybody understands the history of the programme and the consistently huge audiences that watch it. It has more to offer as well – we know how strong the digital offering is, and Match of the Day is really relevant to that audience, too."
