Ex-Liverpool Star Philippe Coutinho Congratulates Salah on Hat-Trick as Pair Exchange Messages

Liverpool returned to the summit of the Premier League following a 4-0 victory over Bournemouth this weekend that saw the 'Egyptian King' rediscover his Midas touch in front of goal. He has now bagged ten league goals and is joint top-scorer in the league alongside Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Not bad for a one-season wonder.

Ex-Red's star Philippe Coutinho, who left for Barcelona in January, is clearly still watching his former employers with interest and took notice of Salah's exploits at the weekend after reacting to an Instagram picture of Salah holding his deserved match-ball.

The Brazilian star commented on the picture with an 'applause and crown emoji', the crown being reference to Salah's nickname - the 'Egyptian King'.
