Jamie Carragher does a hilarious 180 with Mohamed Salah as he frantically celebrates goals in a Man United shirt
Jamie Carragher completely threw his criticism of Mohamed Salah out the window as the Liverpool winger scored twice against Newcastle.
The former Reds star watched his team play at St James' Park on Overlap's live broadcast alongside Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Roy Keane.

While his co-writers focused on Arsenal's clash with Manchester United, Carragher focused on the Premier League leaders.
And when Salah scored the equalizer to make it 2-2 in the second half, Carragher could not contain himself.
He lunged at Neville in celebration, before jumping and falling to the ground to watch the replay.
“Why don't they give him the contract?” shout.
“Give them what they want!”
Carragher is of course referring to Salah's recent claims that he has not yet been offered a new contract with Liverpool and that his current deal expires at the end of the season.
Despite being a great admirer of the Egyptian, Carragher criticized the winger for those comments, calling him “selfish.”
Speaking on Monday Night Football for sky sportsHe said: “Of course there have been discussions.
“At the moment there is obviously a big difference in the valuation of Mo Salah and his agent, whether financially or in terms of contract length, with what Liverpool do.
“So the reason Liverpool wouldn't have offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will reject it.

“So they're still in talks, maybe… I'm desperate for them to meet in the middle.
“But I must say that I am very disappointed with Mo Salah.”
But just over a week later, Carragher completely changed his mind.
When Salah scored Newcastle's third to put his team in front, Carragher took his celebrations to another level.
This time he climbed over Neville's shoulder and rolled to the ground.
“GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS!” he shouted as the others burst out laughing.
Asked if he regrets calling him selfish, Carragher said: “He was thinking about himself, do it behind the scenes.
“It's like an argument with your wife, you have to form a united front and solve it behind closed doors.”
He added with a smile: “Micah Richards just text me saying give him what he wants.”
Unfortunately for Carragher and Liverpool, Newcastle recovered and equalized to make it 3-3 through Fabian Schar after Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher misjudged the flight of the ball, which was subsequently returned by the defender.
