Mohamed Salah embraced his inner Star Wars enthusiast while driving his brand-new Bentley Continental, valued at £160,000. The Liverpool star made headlines this week after his winning goal helped the team extend its lead in the Premier League with a win over Brighton.

Despite facing criticism over diving accusations, Salah earned a penalty for Jurgen Klopp’s team. He maintained a low profile during a lunch outing in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, dressed in a heavy cardigan that drew comparisons to Star Wars characters as he pulled the knitwear over his head before speeding off in his luxury car.
Salah’s penalty against Brighton marked his third in recent months, amidst scrutiny following his performances against Newcastle and Arsenal. Teammate Jordan Henderson defended Salah, urging him to respond on the pitch, similar to how former teammate Luis Suarez did.
“By doing so, he will enhance his condition,” Henderson stated. “He isn’t stressed about it. I’m convinced he’s resilient, and he is. With increasing criticism, his desire to counter his detractors will intensify. People should appreciate him when he visits away grounds.”
Henderson also highlighted that Salah’s recent penalty was undeniable, stating, “That is not up for discussion. I believe away grounds would appreciate what they witness.”
Following Liverpool’s win over Brighton, which secured a seven-point lead before Manchester City’s victory over Wolves, Henderson emphasized the importance of maintaining their momentum. “We are keeping significantly more clean sheets, which is huge. If we want to win trophies, we must maintain this until the season’s end,” he added.
