‘He’ll go on and embarrass my record’ – Gerrard proud to see Salah equal Liverpool record

Steven Gerrard says Mohamed Salah will go-ahead to ‘embarrass’ his Liverpool Champions League goalscoring record.

The Egypt international got a goal and an assist as Jurgen Klopp’s team silenced Atalanta 5-0 at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia on Tuesday night.

His effort, a calm left-footed finish at the end of a rapid burst forward, was the former AS Roma star’s 21st in the tournament for the Anfield giants. And that moved him on level terms with Gerrard as the Reds' top goalscorer in European Cup and Champions League history.
