Jurgen Klopp felt Mohamed Salah turned in a masterful all-round performance as he brought up 20 goals for the season in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Bournemouth.
Salah put the game beyond the visitors after 48 minutes at Anfield, converting Roberto Firmino's backheel to build upon Sadio Mane's headed opener and a brilliantly lobbed second from Georginio Wijnaldum.
The Egypt star is the first Liverpool player to reach 20 in consecutive seasons since Luis Suarez and Klopp was fulsome in his praise after his team returned to the Premier League summit ahead of Manchester City's Sunday showdown with Chelsea.
