‘Everyone is motivated to win the league’ – Salah revels in Liverpool victory over Crystal Palace

Mohamed Salah has voiced Liverpool’s enthusiasm to emerge as Premier League champions as the Reds boosted their title chances against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.

Injury hassles ruled the Egyptian out of their 0-0 draw at Everton, however, he was handed a starter’s role against the Eagles - scoring one and assisting one in Jurgen Klopp’s team 4-0 win.

Consequently, Liverpool could end their 30-year wait to win the diadem on Thursday should Manchester City fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Pep Guardiola’s men held their nerve on the final day of last term to reach a tally of 98 points, one more than the Anfield Stadium giant’s haul of 97 - which was the highest total ever amassed by a second-placed side in the competition's history.
