Salah said in comments published by BBC Sport after the match: "It is very important to achieve victory today."

Salah added: "I said from the beginning that I know football and have played it for many years. It is a very difficult season for us. We have some new players who are very good players, but they need time to adapt and learn each other's playing styles, but everything will be fine."
No, I'm not satisfied, and I've said that from the beginning. I've played football for many years. The season is difficult for us because we have some new players. Excellent signings, but they need time to adapt to the team. We've also lost a lot of good players. We just need time… pic.twitter.com/qCexBLkkDq
He continued: "No, I am not happy with the start of my season. As I said, we have some new players, and we have also lost some good players, so we just need some time to adapt and we will be fine."
