Mohamed Salah makes Arsenal admission after scooping Liverpool award

Mohamed Salah hopes that Liverpool's performance in their draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal will provide a boost for the upcoming run.

The Reds star was on target against Mikel Arteta's side as he fired home to halve the deficit on the stroke of half-time. After the break, Diogo Jota was brought down by Rob Holding providing an opportunity for the Egpytian to equalise from the penalty spot but he squandered his effort firing wide for the second time this season.

Liverpool rose to eighth as a result of the point but the share of the spoils meant that Jurgen Klopp's men failed to close the gap between them and the top four.

Salah was awarded the Standard Charter Player of the Month for the second time this season after winning the award for December. During March, he became the club's all-time Premier League goalscorer overtaking Robbie Fowler after netting in the rout over Manchester United.

Three of the Reds' upcoming games are against teams in the lower reaches of the Premier League table with two of those coming away from Anfield - Leeds United on Monday then West Ham in the penultimate game of the month.

And Salah hopes their positive second-half showing against the north London side can be the spark for a strong end to, what has been, an inconsistent season.

"[Arsenal] Top of the table, we played a good game against them, they are a really good team," he said speaking to Liverpool's official website. "But I think we dominated the game, especially in the second half; we were unlucky with some chances.

"So, hopefully that will give us a push for the next games."

On breaking Fowler's record he added: "It feels really good, to be fair – one of the best moments for me in football. I enjoyed it so much and I was so happy to break the record. It was a really lovely day and I was so happy about the record."
