Liverpool Fan Left Mohamed Salah Devastated Telling Him The Manchester City Score

Mohamed Salah thought he'd won Liverpool the Premier League title, before being left devastated to learn Manchester City were already ahead.

City once again needed to come from behind to win 3-2 and hold onto the title, but things were so nearly very different when they were 2-0 down to Aston Villa.

At that point a goal for Liverpool would have been enough to springboard Jurgen Klopp's side to the top of the table, as they were being held by Wolves at Anfield.

Then Salah finally broke the deadlock in the 84th minute, running over to celebrate with the home fans, and he may well have believed that he'd just won his side the league.

That's because the forward went from ecstatic to devastated in a matter of seconds, as one fan told him of City's five minute comeback and the scoreline at the Etihad.

The devastation was pretty brief, with Salah then lifting his arms to the crowd again, but you can see the life partially sucked out of him at hearing the news.

Inside Anfield the atmosphere built as first Matty Cash and then Philippe Coutinho scored for Villa, the second of which would have been of particular enjoyment for a crowd who spent many games cheering on the Brazilian.

In five second half minutes though, things completely turned around, with Ilkay Gundogan coming on as a substitute to change the game.

It meant that in the end Salah's goal, and the one by Andrew Robertson in the 89th minute, were ultimately worthless in the title race.

Salah's goal wasn't for nothing for him personally at least, as he needed the strike for his own race to win the Premier League's Golden Boot.

No doubt, the mood around Anfield will be much improved next week if they can beat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and end up with a cup treble.
