Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has rallied the Reds to go all the way and win the Premier League title this season.
The Reds moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a 3-1 victory against the Foxes at Anfield on Thursday. Arne Slot's men were forced to recover from a goal down after Jordan Ayew opened the scoring for the visitors.
Cody Gakpo levelled the game in first-half stoppage time, however, and goals in the second period from Curtis Jones and Salah earned the home side all three points.
"It's a good result, to be fair," Salah told Amazon Prime Video post-match as quoted by the club’s official website. "They were very tough first half. The second half, the way they prepared themselves before the game they were very good.
"Also, the way they were standing in front of the box was quite hard for us in the first half especially. But we managed to score three goals, so it's a great result."
On how motivated he is to win the title this season, Salah said: “This one is very special. Hopefully we win the Premier League for this club - it's something I dream of. I really want to win the Premier League this year, hopefully.
“It feels different but the important thing is we need to stay humble. We had a few injuries when we were ahead [previously] and we lose it in the end. Hopefully we carry on like that with no injuries and we go on and win it.”
Salah scored the 100th home Premier League goal of his career against the Foxes, and asked how he felt, he said: “It's something I'm very proud of. We keep working hard and hopefully I can go a little bit further. The most important thing for me is the team winning. Hopefully we win the Premier League and I have a big impact. That's great for me.”
