Mohamed Salah said he felt "thrown under the bus" and "betrayed" after public outbursts, a three-match benching and omission from Liverpool's Champions League squad, but he returned as a 26th-minute substitute against Brighton and played 75 minutes.His corner led to Hugo Ekitiké's second goal and he nearly set up Virgil van Dijk as supporters at Anfield applauded him during a one-man lap of honour, while manager Arne Slot said the matter was resolved from his perspective.Salah will join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations, talks are expected between Liverpool's hierarchy and his representatives while he is away, and the player said he hopes the night helps rebuild trust with fans amid ongoing scrutiny over his future.
