Liverpool boss Klopp hails Salah for Newcastle win: Thank God he stays fit!

Published on: 03 March 2018

Mohamed Salah was again on the mark as Liverpool defeated Newcastle United 2-0.

Salah's 32nd goal of the campaign - the same number the Magpies have managed in all competitions this season - was the 26th competitive club match he has scored in, eclipsing the likes of Paris St Germain's Edinson Cavani (24) and Barcelona's Lionel Messi (20) in the big five leagues.

Sadio Mane added Liverpool's second with his fifth goal in his last three matches.

On Salah, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said: "I had no numbers in my mind [when Liverpool signed him]. We knew he was a very offensively-orientated midfield player. If you are that then you need goals from players like this and you want them to score.

"I love the goals he's scored, I love his assists. I really love this player, how he is doing so well and thank God he is still healthy and fit and all that stuff. All the others are important, exactly the same importance for us. We played together, he knows that he needed a pass – he cannot get the ball in midfield, run there and then be free in the box. That's not possible."
