LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah posed for a selfie with Liverpool fans as the Merseyside club headed toward securing the Premier League title on Sunday.
Salah had just fired Liverpool into a 4-1 lead against Tottenham at Anfield when he took a phone from a fan sitting in the stadium's famous Kop stand.
He then turned his back to the crowd and smiled for the camera before handing it back with chants of “Mo Salah” ringing in the air.
Liverpool only needed a point to be confirmed English champion for a record-equaling 20th time and took all three with a 5-1 win.
After going behind to Dominic Solanke's early goal, Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gapko all struck before halftime to push Liverpool to the brink of the title. Salah added a fourth in the 63rd minute and Destiny Udogie scored an own-goal in the 69th to complete the rout.
