Mohamed Salah is excellent but he isn't yet an Anfield legend like Ian Rush, Steven Gerrard and Kenny Dalglish - Mark Lawrenson gives his verdict on Liverpool's prolific winger

An image is stuck in my mind about Mohamed Salah this season. It was in the final minute of the game against Tottenham at Anfield, after he had just scored his second goal.

Salah has been so good that teams have been doubling up to mark him but on that day, Tottenham put three men on him to try and keep him quiet but it was impossible.

As Salah ran off to celebrate, I looked at those three lads from Spurs and could see them thinking: “how on earth did that happen?”
