Egyptian international and Liverpool FC star Mohamed Salah was left in tears of grief after the Reds fans chanted the name of his late teammate Diogo Jota following the match against Bournemouth in the English Premier League.
Salah participated in Liverpool's match against Bournemouth on Friday evening, in the first round of the English Premier League for the 2025-26 season, which ended with the Reds winning 4-2.
Mohamed Salah scored the fourth and final goal in the dying seconds, specifically in the 90+4 minute, the Pharaoh celebrated in the manner of his late teammate Diogo Jota.
After the match ended, Liverpool fans lit up the stands with chants for the late Portuguese player Jota, who died along with his brother in a tragic car accident in Spain.
Record-breaking
Salah extended his record as the player with the most goals scored in the opening round of the Premier League (10 goals).
He also became the player with the most goals scored (both goals and assists) in Premier League history, at 15.
Salah increased his tally at Anfield to 106 goals, making him the second-highest scorer at a single stadium in the history of the competition, equaling Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero's record of 106 goals at the Etihad Stadium.
Topping this list is former Arsenal star Thierry Henry, who scored 114 goals at Highbury, the Gunners' former home, now known as the Emirates.
