Liverpool's Mohamed Salah said he had been "thrown under the bus" as he tore into the club over his treatment after watching from the bench as his side twice threw away the lead in a 3-3 Premier League draw with Leeds United on Saturday.

The 33-year-old Egyptian lashed out at the club and coach Arne Slot, telling journalists he felt he had been scapegoated for their poor start to the season and suggesting that he may not have long left at Anfield.

Salah has become an iconic figure in an eight-year spell at Liverpool in which he has won two Premier League titles and scored 250 goals in all competitions for the club.

"I'm very, very disappointed to be fair. I have done so much for this club, everybody can see that during the years and especially last season," Salah told reporters in the post-match mixed zone.

"I don't know, it seems like the club is throwing me under the bus. That's how I felt it, how I feel it."

Speaking after the draw, Slot said he had left Salah on the bench because he felt the team needed something different.

"Normally when you need a goal, like last week against Sunderland, I brought Mo on. We needed different players like Wataru (Endo) when we needed to bring the win over the line, he (Endo) gave everything.

Since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017, Salah has become the club's third-highest scorer behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt, but it appears that he feels his time on Merseyside may be coming to an end.

"I don't think I'm the problem. I have done so much for this club with the respect I want to get. And I don't have to go every day fighting for my position because I've earned it," Salah said. (Reuters)
