The Merseyside outfit won their first-ever Premier League title in over three decades in style - gapping the Citizens with 23 points when they were confirmed winners.

Their visit to the Etihad Stadium after their triumph ended up in disappointment as they suffered a 4-0 defeat.

"It's great, winning the Premier League after a long time. Unbelievable," said Salah, who was speaking to Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher.

"I think some players wanted to beat Man City and win it there. It was an unbelievable feeling when Chelsea scored the second one and wow it was a party."

Salah added: "I remember last year against Man United away where we drew I went into the dressing room and started to cry. That was the moment I felt we lost the Premier League.
