Mohamed Salah stirred up social media with a cryptic Instagram post just minutes after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday, a result that left Liverpool six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Liverpool had earlier secured a dramatic 2-0 win over Brentford with two injury-time goals from Darwin Nunez, extending their lead. Arsenal, on the other hand, threw away a two-goal advantage against Villa, which allowed their title rivals to further stretch their lead.
Salah posted a picture of himself with Nunez on Instagram, looking cheerful as they prepared to fly back to Merseyside, just six minutes after the final whistle at the Emirates. The post, without a caption, led to speculation from fans who thought the timing was intentional. “Proper s***housery from Salah there,” one fan commented on X, while another added, “Salah knows exactly what he’s doing here.”
Despite a tough match against Brentford, Liverpool’s win kept them in control of the title race. Arsenal had led 2-0 after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz, but Villa made a comeback with goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins, leaving the Gunners with just a point.
With the result, Liverpool is now six points ahead of Arsenal, who have one game more to play. As the Reds close in on their second Premier League title, questions linger about the futures of key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all of whom are in the final six months of their contracts.
