Blind Liverpool supporter on becoming viral hit

Nearly three million people have watched a clip on Twitter of his cousin Stephen leaning over to tell him who netted for the 'Reds', sending the pair's touching exchange viral.

Salah had just put the ball through David Ospina's legs and lifted the roof off Anfield. 

"I'm like every other football fan - it doesn't matter if I can't see clearly, I still celebrate," he told 'BBC Sport'. "It was just relief that we scored."

"I wish I could see more but that doesn't mean I can't form an opinion of my own," he said.

"It's difficult for people that can see to understand, but I think of it as normal to me and I have been like that all my life. It's just the way I watch the game."

"I like just being involved in the atmosphere and hearing what my cousin thinks - and anyone else, whether it's five rows back and a pleasant comment or not.

"If its not my cousin Stephen with me then it's other friends, it's just normal for us. I find it weird the reaction. It's nice, but a little bit strange!"
