During the match, Salah was seen waving to the fans at the final whistle, which led to speculation that it might have been a farewell gesture. However, Sutton believes this was not the case.
In an interview, Sutton stated, "I guess everyone leaves Anfield with a questioning feeling about what happens next. Should he stay or should he leave?" He went on to say, "I don't think it was a farewell. There were moments where you wondered if it was a goodbye wave, but it looked more like he was applauding the fans – just like he does every week."
