Liverpool star Salah is a 'proper competitive boy', Klopp gushes

The Egypt international put up an awe-inspiring showing as the Reds blew aside the Canaries in Saturday’s English top-flight fixture

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has lavished praise on forward Mohamed Salah, calling the Egypt international a "proper competitive boy" in the wake of his impressive display against Norwich City.

After setting up Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino, the African opened his account of the 2021-22 campaign as the Reds picked a 3-0 away win over Daniel Farke’s men at Carrow Road.

His 74th-minute finish was a fine left-footed shot from the top of the box that took a slight deflection, leaving Tim Krul helpless.
