The Egyptian forward, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation following his touchline spat with manager Jürgen Klopp last month, received a thunderous reception from the home supporters throughout the match.
Anfield Roars Its Support
As Salah's name echoed around the famous stadium during player announcements, the 31-year-old was captured on camera struggling to contain his emotions, wiping away tears as he acknowledged the fans' unwavering support.
The touching moment came just weeks after his highly-publicised disagreement with Klopp during the West Ham match, which had sparked rumours about his future at the club.

While Salah experienced this emotional rollercoaster, it was Diogo Jota who stole the show on the pitch with a clinical brace that secured all three points for the Reds. The Portuguese forward's sharp finishing demonstrated why he's become such a crucial part of Liverpool's attacking force.
Jota opened the scoring in the first half with a perfectly placed header, before adding a second after the break with a typical poacher's finish from close range.
Title Race Implications
This vital victory keeps Liverpool firmly in the title race as the Premier League season approaches its dramatic conclusion. The win provides momentum ahead of their final match of the season against Wolves at Anfield, where emotions are sure to run high once again.
The scenes of Salah's emotional response to the fans' support will undoubtedly become another iconic Anfield moment, showcasing the unique bond between players and supporters at the famous ground.
