Mohamed Salah returns as Liverpool defeat Brighton, while Arsenal rely on two own goals to overcome Wolves.

The initial phase of Mohamed Salah's recovery at Liverpool has concluded, as the Egyptian forward rejoined the team for their 2-0 victory against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

The pressing question now, as Salah departs for the Africa Cup of Nations, is whether he has a future at Anfield upon his return.

Salah, who expressed his frustrations regarding his current situation at Liverpool last weekend, came on as a substitute in the 26th minute to a warm reception and assisted in the second goal scored by Hugo Ekitike, helping the defending champions rise to sixth place and extend their unbeaten streak to five matches across all competitions.

"For me, there is no issue to resolve," stated Liverpool manager Arne Slot regarding the current circumstances of his star player at the club.

Arsenal is striving to claim Liverpool's title and has established a five-point advantage by defeating last-placed Wolverhampton 2-1 — a victory that was only secured due to two own goals, the latter occurring during stoppage time.

In a stretch of just one win in their last three matches, the leaders appeared poised to drop additional points when Tolu Arokodare equalized for Wolves in the 90th minute, negating an own goal by goalkeeper Sam Johnstone in the 70th. Subsequently, Yerson Mosquera inadvertently headed the ball into his own net from a cross by Bukayo Saka, thereby granting Arsenal the victory.

Additionally, on Saturday, Chelsea triumphed over Everton with a score of 2-0, propelled by Cole Palmer's first goal in three months.

The BCB elections will be held next October. Three groups have become active in the election campaign before the elections. Like the national elections, the sports arena in Bangladesh is also divided into two. On one side are the BNP-supported organizers, and on the other side are the Awami League supporters. During the fascist regime for the past 15 years, Awami League supporters have unilaterally controlled the sports arena. After Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5 last year, the situation in the sports arena has also changed. There has been an increase in the number of new faces in various sports organizations and federations. Since independence, ad hoc committees have been formed in sports federations. The first elections started in the sports arena in 1998. The first elections of this kind were also held in the BCB. Ho...
