What a performance from Liverpool attacker Mo Salah last night.
The Reds put one foot in the last eight of the Champions League by winning 2-0 away to Red Bull Leipzig on Tuesday.
Liverpool dominated the first half but found the breakthrough on 53 minutes through Salah.
It was a tireless performance from the former Roma attacker, who took his goal brilliantly well it has to be said.
Jurgen Klopp took him off for Neco Williams on 90 minutes, before embracing his player in a big hug on the touchline.
Here’s how BBC pundit Stephen Warnock reacted to his display.
Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Mo Salah has ran himself into the ground, his work rate has been outstanding he’s been a threat constantly down the side. Jurgen Klopp gives him a huge hug and rightly so because that’s a big performance from a big player.”
Winning the Champions League is Liverpool’s last chance of a trophy this season and although none of their fans will be getting excited, especially considering their Premier League form, this will do Klopp’s players the world of good.
The Anfield outfit have lost their last three domestic games to fall 13 points behind Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League.
But the likelyhood of moving into the Champions League quarter-finals will alter the mood inside Liverpool’s dressing room and that, you feel, could be the turning point.
