“Shut Me Up”: Ian Wright Admits One Liverpool Player Completely Silenced Him After His Display Against Arsenal

Liverpool managed to claw back twice from behind against Arsenal yesterday, securing a draw that left Ian Wright impressed and silenced by the performance of one particular Reds player.

Mohamed Salah’s late goal allowed Liverpool to walk away with a hard-earned point, which also hindered Arsenal’s push for the title.

Arne Slot’s team appeared below par during the first 45 minutes, with former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher even expressing his disappointment in their overall showing.

Despite a quiet first half, Liverpool stayed in the match, and Salah came alive in the second half, once again finding the net against Arsenal.

Known for his success against teams like Arsenal and Manchester United, Salah left Ian Wright, who had previously expressed some criticism, admitting he’d been ‘shut up’ by the Egyptian’s performance.

Ian Wright Says Mohamed Salah “Shut Him Up” in Arsenal Draw v Liverpool

During a discussion on Premier League Productions with Alan Shearer and Steve McManaman, Wright acknowledged that he had doubted Salah, only to be proven wrong yet again.

“Brilliant for him. Well done Mo,” Wright laughed.

McManaman then revealed Wright had been calling the Liverpool man ‘No Salah’ at half-time after his lack of impact in the opening 45 minutes.

“But that’s what he does doesn’t he? Shuts you up. Shut me up,” Wright added.

Alan Shearer joined other pundits in applauding Salah for his impact in securing the draw, proving once more that even when he’s not at his best, he can still deliver.

Salah has consistently shown himself to be Liverpool’s go-to player for big moments. Sunday’s was yet another display of his remarkable talent, and as Ian Wright humorously points out, underestimating him comes with a risk.

In fact, if Arsenal had a player like Mo Salah, they might have claimed the league title before this season.
