LIVERPOOL, England, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Arne Slot said it was an easy decision to include talisman Mohamed Salah in the squad for Saturday's 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion, despite a turbulent week following the forward's scathing criticism of the team.

Salah was subsequently left at home for Liverpool's 1-0 Champions League win at Inter Milan on Tuesday, but he was one of the Reds' best players on Saturday at Anfield, to the delight of fans who welcomed him with a standing ovation.
