Mohamed Salah took to social media almost immediately after helping Liverpool to a 2-1 win over West Ham United.

The Egyptian capped off a spectacular week to help his side move one step closer to becoming Premier League champions.

The Reds were forced to fight for the three points but in the end got the job done against the Hammers.

With pressure increasing in the second-half a breakdown in communication between Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson meant the former had an equalising own goal to his name.

But for his part in the error, the captain was able to come up with an 89th-minute winner, and Liverpool now need just six points from their remaining six games to be crowned Premier League champions.

As has become tradition after matches this season, Salah followed up by posting a caption-less selfie alongside Liverpool's goalscorers within minutes of the full-time whistle going at Anfield.

Liverpool confirmed on Friday morning that Salah has signed a two-year extension with the club, and he declared: "Of course I’m very excited.

"We have a great team now.

I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together.

"Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies."

Speaking after his side's win over the Hammers, Salah said: "I was on the bench, it is worse there!

They managed to score and at that stage, the most important thing is to win the game.

"I am glad we managed to do that [contract] before the end of the season.
