On a bittersweet evening charged with emotion after the July death of Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, newcomer Hugo Ekitike bagged a goal on his league debut to put the hosts ahead after 37 minutes and Cody Gakpo doubled the lead in the 49th.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has ended months of speculation about his future by signing a two-year contract extension at Anfield, the Premier League leaders said on Friday.

The 32-year-old, who joined the club in 2017 from AS Roma, could have left the club for free in the summer with his contract previously set to expire in June.

LIVERPOOL — Holders Liverpool punched their return ticket to Wembley and a League Cup final against Newcastle United after a 4-0 rout, and 4-1 aggregate victory, over a toothless Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Thursday.

The runaway favorites took the lead, to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit against the injury-depleted visitors, when Cody Gakpo fired in a right-foot shot in the 34th minute from a Mohamed Salah cross.

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah said in an interview on Friday that he’s playing in his final year at Anfield. The 32-year-old’s contract with the club ends at the end of the 2024-25 season and talks over a new contract have stalled in the past half year.

During an interview with Sky Sports, he doubled-down on the idea that this will be his final year with the club and that his goal is to win the Premier League in his last season.

LONDON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a dominant but chaotic 6-3 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday thanks to doubles from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

Diaz met Trent Alexander-Arnold's beautiful cross with a diving header to open the scoring before Alexis Mac Allister nodded home from close range to double Liverpool's lead, but James Maddison pulled one back four minutes before half-time.

WHAT A BALL.
WHAT A FINISH.

Nov 25 (Reuters) - Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah says he is "more out than in" at the Premier League leaders with still no offer of a new contract on the table.

The Egypt striker, whose deal expires at the end of the season, scored twice as Liverpool came back to beat Southampton 3-2 away on Sunday to open up an eight-point gap at the top of the standings.

LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Mohamed Salah's late equalizer earned Liverpool a 2-2 draw with rivals Arsenal in an entertaining Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the ninth minute with a fierce strike, before Virgil van Dijk equalised nine minutes later, nodding home a Luis Diaz flick-on from a corner.

LONDON — Liverpool's slim Premier League title hopes faded further on Saturday when Michail Antonio's late header earned West Ham United a deserved point with a 2-2 draw.

Liverpool, reeling from a 2-0 loss at Everton in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, were marginally the better side in a flat first half. The visitors had a penalty denied for an offside in the build-up before Luis Diaz hit the post.

They again conceded first, however, when Jarrod Bowen nodded home shortly before halftime, his 20th goal of the season in his 200th game for the Hammers.
