Mohamed Salah has apologised to his Liverpool team mates after a tense interview where he accused the club of breaking promises and making him a scapegoat during a poor run. Curtis Jones says the dressing room accepted the apology and still backs the forward. Salah was benched for several matches, then returned against Brighton to set up Hugo Ekitike in a home win. Arne Slot has downplayed any rift, insisting relationships are repaired as Salah departs for Africa Cup of Nations duty and Liverpool focus on regaining consistency.

Florian Wirtz denied first Liverpool goal by dubious own goal call

Liverpool needed a stroke of luck to avoid another damaging league result, drawing level when Florian Wirtz’s mis-hit shot deflected heavily off Nordi Mukiele and beat Robin Roefs, only for the Premier League’s goal accreditation panel to credit it as a Sunderland own goal. After Virgil van Dijk’s error and deflected concession left Liverpool chasing the game, Curtis Jones sparked a rare attacking surge and Wirtz slalomed through the box, but replays showed his effort was heading well wide, inviting more mockery of his output despite him being one of Liverpool’s few bright performers in a flat display.
