Israel Adesanya has acknowledged Mohamed Salah’s homage after the Liverpool forward used his iconic celebration.

Salah, who scored and provided two assists in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, celebrated his goal by mimicking Adesanya’s signature archer gesture.

In his post-match interview, Salah explained the inspiration behind the celebration, referencing Adesanya’s UFC victory over Alex Pereira.

“I was watching the UFC – Alex Pereira against Israel Adesanya.

“When he [Adesanya] won the second fight against Pereira, he celebrated like that because Pereira beat him in the first one. I like the celebration, that’s why I do it,” Salah said.

Adesanya, known as ‘The Last Stylebender,’ responded to Salah’s tribute on social media with a simple message: “Each one teach one.”
