Mo Salah calls out Jamie Carragher as Liverpool icon makes 'see you in the carpark' remark
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah hit back at Reds icon Jamie Carragher after their 2-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.
The Egyptian star set up the first goal for Cody Gakpo to tap home and struck home from the penalty spot to put Arne Slot's men nine points clear at the top and 12 clear of City.
The 32-year-old had come under fire from Carragher in recent days after discussing his future publicly ahead of their midweek victory over Real Madrid, with the Sky Sports pundit suggesting Salah was "selfish" for turning the attention back to him.

When Van Dijk was asked to choose between himself and Salah for man of the match, the Dutchman quipped: "I'm surprised Carragher wouldn't give it to you."
A smiling Salah then replied: "Ah no, he [Carragher] wouldn't give it to me. Never. He wouldn't! I don't want to talk about this!"

Carragher had criticised Salah's attempts to put pressure on the club to hand him a new contract after claiming he was "more out than in".
"I must say I am very disappointed with Salah. That interview yesterday, Liverpool have got Real Madrid midweek and they’ve got Manchester City at the weekend. That’s the story for Liverpool right now," he said on Tuesday.
He added: “The most important thing is Liverpool winning the Premier League - that is more important than any of those players. And if he continues to put comments out or his agent keeps putting cryptic tweets out, that’s selfish. That’s thinking about themselves and not the football club.”

Salah once again addressed his comments about his future after the win over City and admitted he was keen to savour what could be his final home game against their title rivals inside the fiery Anfield cauldron.
"It's very special. I don't take it for granted. I'm enjoying every minute here. It feels like home," Salah added. "It's always special feeling always scoring at Anfield and winning games."
On his contract situation, he added: "Honestly it's in my head. Until now this is the last City game I will play for Liverpool so I was just going to enjoy it.
"The atmosphere was incredible so I will enjoy every second here. Hopefully we just win the league and will see what will happen."
