Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool to the top of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/son-sends-tottenham-into-top-four-more-pain-for-pochettinos-chelsea-23342331" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Premier League</a> as the Egypt star&rsquo;s clinical finish capped a stirring fightback to beat Brighton 2-1 on Sunday. Jurgen Klopp&rsquo;s side were rocked by Danny Welbeck&rsquo;s blistering strike after just 85 seconds at Anfield.

Luis Diaz restored order with an equaliser later in the first half, before Salah netted after the interval to seal a vital victory. Salah&rsquo;s third goal in his last three games was his 22nd in all competitions this term. Unbeaten in their last six league matches, Liverpool sit three points clear of second-placed <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/man-citys-walker-stones-out-of-arsenal-clash-23342148" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Arsenal</a>, who face third-placed Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium later on Sunday. An Arsenal victory would take them above Liverpool on goal difference.&nbsp;
Any other result would keep Liverpool in pole position. For the first time in 10 years, the Premier League&rsquo;s top three were separated by only one point after 28 games prior to this weekend&rsquo;s matches. Thanks to Salah, treble-chasing Liverpool remain firmly in the hunt for a record-equalling 20th English title in Klopp&rsquo;s final season. Unbeaten in their last 27 home league games, Liverpool are back in action at Anfield against lowly Sheffield United on Thursday.
