Virgil van Dijk has described Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah as a "fantastic player" while pointing to his impressive goalscoring record as proof of how important he is to the team.
Liverpool secured a record-equalling 18th successive Premier League victory by beating West Ham 3-2 at Anfield on Monday, thanks to goals from Georginio Wijnaldum, Salah and Sadio Mane.
Salah's 15th top-flight strike from 24 outings this season owed a great deal to Lukasz Fabianski's poor handling in the Hammers' net, but the Egyptian produced a superb piece of movement to get on the end of Andrew Robertson's neat cut-back.
