Here's why Mohamed Salah didn't celebrate his Liverpool goal against Chelsea

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah didn't celebrate scoring against Chelsea as a tribute to those who were killed in Friday's terrorist attack in Egypt.

The £36.9million signing continued his stunning start to his Anfield career by slotting home his 15th Liverpool goal of the season in the 1-1 draw.


After scoring in front of the Kop, Salah simply raised his arms - leading to suggestions that he was playing it down as a mark of respect to his former club.

He played 19 matches for Chelsea after joining them in 2014 before moving on to Fiorentina and then Roma.

However, a source close to the player has confirmed that it was in fact a tribute to the 305 who died in his homeland.

Friday's attack on worshippers at a mosque in Sinai was the country's deadliest in recent memory.

Asked how Salah had taken the news, Klopp said: "It’s not the place to talk about this.

"Our life in football as a professional is nobody cares how we feel. We have to deliver. Obviously he was able to do that."

Salah tweeted on Friday: "My sincere condolences to the Egyptian people and all the families of the martyrs of El Arish mosque."
