Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah helped his team snatch a vital late win against Tottenham at Anfield, but some online were left puzzled at why the Egyptian star appeared to celebrate as if he had scored what was a clear own goal.
With the scores level at 1-1 after Lucas Moura had canceled out Roberto Firminos opener for the home team, Liverpool pushed forward in desperate search of a winner to push them ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
And they found one when Egyptian star Salah – largely ineffective up to that point – peeled off at the back post to meet a cross in the 90th minute, heading the ball goalwards, where Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris could only parry it into defender Toby Alderweireld, with the ball then rolling into the net.
It sparked delirium at Anfield and delight among the Liverpool players, who mobbed Salah as the creator of the at-the-death strike.
The Egyptian went on to perform his customary kneeling celebration, although some online were questioning why the Liverpool star was appearing to claim the strike as his own – despite it being a clear own goal by the hapless Alderweireld.

The ecstasy at Anfield and among the online Liverpool faithful at the final whistle was in stark contrast to what had been a nervy afternoon for the team, having surrendered the lead Brazilian forward Firmino had given then with a lovely headed opener in the first half.
Fans had been critical of Salah in particular, accusing him of snubbing the chance to set up his fellow strikers – in particular the in-form Sadio Mane – when well-placed.
