Salah Raises Concern Over Liverpool's Legal Substitution

During Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Southampton, Mohamed Salah expressed concern that the team was about to exceed the Premier League's substitution limit by introducing a sixth player. Salah's anxiety arose after Liverpool had already made five substitutions, but referee Lewis Smith clarified that they were permitted to make an extra change due to a concussion substitution made by Southampton earlier in the match. This rule allows an additional substitution for the opposing team when a concussion protocol is invoked, a detail that Salah was not initially aware of. Fans praised Salah's dedication to ensuring compliance with the rules, highlighting his desire to secure the league title. The game also saw Salah score two penalties, contributing significantly to Liverpool's comeback win. With this victory, Liverpool maintains a strong lead at the top of the Premier League table.
