Jamie Carragher called out for Mo Salah criticism live on air

Liverpool bounced back from a turbulent week dominated by an explosive interview by star man Mohamed Salah with a much-needed win over Inter Milan in the Champions League.

The Egyptian was omitted from the Reds’ travelling squad after claiming he had been thrown under the bus at Anfield and stating that he no longer had a relationship with manager Arne Slot.

Those comments dominated the build-up to Liverpool’s tough test at the San Siro, but Slot’s side did their talking on the pitch with a much-improved performance.

Ibrahima Konate nodded in the opening goal just after the half hour mark but had it ruled out following a lengthy VAR check for handball. But Liverpool had VAR to thank rather than curse later on as Alessandro Bastoni was penalised for a shirt-pull on Florian Wirtz in the box, with Dominik Szoboszlai - deputising for the absent penalty-taker Salah - coolly converting the spot-kick to seal a crucial three points.

The Reds moved up to eighth in the league phase table, level on points with Inter, who dropped to fifth after a first European defeat at home in three years.

Mohamed Salah must take initiative for Liverpool reconciliation, suggests Arne Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has suggested any attempts to repair his relationship with Mohamed Salah should come from the player himself.

Slot was able to smile and joke with the Amazon Prime panel, including former Inter player Clarence Seedorf, who quizzed him repeatedly on the Salah debacle.

“That’s your opinion,” he smiled when Seedorf suggested it should be the club making the first overture to the player after a dispute.

“Everyone makes mistakes in life but does the player know he’s made a mistake?

“I haven’t said that I’m not going to talk to him. But then you have to ask should the initiative come from me? That’s another question,” Slot posited as Seedorf continued to press.

Andy Robertson: 'A perfect night for us'

Andy Robertson chats to Amazon Prime now. “Huge result. We knew we were coming to a tough place, to a team that's in a good moment. We had to show fight, determination, we had to dig in at times. The clean sheet was crucial for us tonight, and then we go and score the goal. A perfect night for us and a big three points.

“The handball for me, I think it took seven or eight minutes. If you do that, then you have to stick to the on-field decision. You have to stick to the decision. It can’t be taking that long, everyone hanging around. The penalty did look soft but that’s given anywhere else on the pitch.

“We all needed it. We know the results and performances aren't good enough. When you’re not in the best moment, t’s important this club is in the Champions League, people that support us expect us to go far in it. It was a huge result for all of us.”
