Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah's goalscoring exploits continue to steal the headlines but it is the team behind him which is impressing manager Jurgen Klopp. The Egypt international scored his 32nd goal of the season in a comfortable 2-0 win over struggling Newcastle.
That second goal, almost instinctive with the way the ball was pinged around, highlighted the argument being made by Klopp, who admits he did not have a goal target for Salah when he signed him from Roma in the summer.
"I had no numbers in my mind. We knew he was a very offensively-orientated midfield player. If you are that then you need goals from players like this," he said. "I love the goals he scores, I love his assists. I really love this player, how he is doing so well and thank God he is still healthy and fit.
"But all the others have exactly the same importance. He knows he needs a pass: he cannot get a ball in midfield and then run forward to be free in the box it is not possible so it was a world-class situation from Ox."
