Mohamed Salah said he was proud to score his 150th goal for Liverpool as the Egypt forward helped inspire a 3-1 win against Norwich on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp’s side were stunned when Milot Rashica’s deflected strike put Norwich ahead early in the second half at Anfield.

But Liverpool drew level through Sadio Mane’s overhead kick before taking the lead through Salah’s landmark effort. Salah is only the 10th player to reach 150 goals for Liverpool and the second fastest to the milestone after Roger Hunt. Luis Diaz scored his first Liverpool goal in his fourth appearance since his January move from Porto to wrap up a win that kept the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City.
25 goals in 30 appearances
Salah has scored 25 in 30 appearances this season, including 17 in 23 league matches, while the Reds have won their last eight games in all competitions. “It feels great. I’m always proud to score for this club and the most important thing is to win games which is what we did today,” Salah said.
‘Our focus is on each game’
“What we can do is focus on each game and that’s the most important thing. We know when you fight with City, City most of the time they win games so all we can do is focus on ourselves and see what happens at the end of the season.”
Nantes shock PSG
Paris: Paris Saint-Germain were brought back down to earth after their Champions League win over Real Madrid as they slumped to a 3-1 defeat at Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday. Nantes raced into a stunning 3-0 lead at the break—the first time PSG had conceded three goals before half-time in over two years. Neymar gave PSG hope with his first goal since last November, but then saw a poor 59th-minute spot-kick saved.
