Jurgen Klopp praises all-round team performance in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle

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 and he tormented Jamaal Lascelles so much he could have had a penalty and got the Newcastle captain red-carded in the closing stages.

However, the driving run by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain created Salah's goal while an incisive rapid passing movement, topped by a brilliantly threaded through-ball by Roberto Firmino, was the key to Sadio Mane scoring after the break.
