Jürgen Klopp hailed Mohamed Salah's outstanding performance against RB Leipzig as he underlined the respect he is held in at Liverpool.
The Egyptian notched his 24th goal of 2020-21 in Budapest in midweek, surpassing his total for last term with three months of the season still to be played.
In total, the strike in the Champions League last-16 first leg was Salah’s 118th for the club, moving him level with Ian St John on the Reds’ all-time scorers list.
Asked if Salah receives sufficient credit for his form, Klopp said at his pre-Everton press conference: “So, you don’t have to ask me if [or] why he doesn’t get the credit – if he doesn’t get the credit, I don’t know – because it would be really strange and really unexplainable why he shouldn’t get the credit.
