Slot machine grinds to a halt without their mighty talisman Mo

ARNE SLOT took a peak into life without Mo Salah - and hated what he saw.

- JEREMY CROSS

Because he watched Liverpool blow a two goal lead at Elland Road, then snatch a draw from the jaws of victory on a remarkable but familiar night in Yorkshire.

Hugo Ekitike had put the visitors in total control, with two goals in less than three minutes after the break.

But Leeds hit back to draw level through Dominik Calvert-Lewin and Anton Stach - to turn the game on its head.

Dominic Szloboszlai pounced 10 minutes from time to make it 3-2 to the visitors. Only for Ao Tanaka to lash home an equaliser, leaving Slot stinging in the rain on the touchline.

Salah will board a plane to Morocco next weekend - and can't take flight quickly enough.

And who can blame him? Because when he arrives at the Africa Cup of Nations for Egypt, he will at least have some games of football to look forward to.

Which has to be better than sitting on the bench in the pouring rain Yorkshire, dealing with the realisation he is no longer part of Slot's plans.
