As Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside Derby, Mohamed Salah lavished praise on to Stefan Bajcetic, who impressed once again.
The 18-year-old’s sparkling performance earned rave views from the likes of Jamie Carragher and Leon Osman, as he was arguably the hosts’ standout player on the night.
Mohamed Salah was one of those that seems truly embedded in the Stefan Bajcetic fan club after Liverpool defeated Everton, as the teenager continues to look the part since being handed a starting place in the side.
Mohamed Salah on Stefan Bajcetic after Liverpool beat Everton
In a post-match interview featuring the pair with Sky Sports, via Football Daily, Mohamed Salah waxed lyrical about Stefan Bajcetic after Liverpool cruised past Everton at Anfield, saying, “He’s a great player and a great person. He always tries to work hard and I think, since he’s started to play with us [Liverpool], he’s been our best player, maybe?” Hopefully, he stays with that confidence and he just keeps going.”
A smiling Stefan Bajcetic was quizzed about how he feels upon hearing a club legend’s high praise, as he replied, “Well, he’s Mo [Mohamed] Salah, so! He’s probably one of the best players ever in Liverpool history and so, it’s nice to hear a legend say that to me.”
Stefan Bajcetic is worthy of all the high praise
The Spaniard, who has also previously drawn high praise from Jamie Carragher and Alan Shearer has been a revelation since being blooded into the side and he perhaps had his finest ever game in the Merseyside Derby.
Operating just in front of Fabinho as the left-sided central midfielder, Stefan Bajcetic ran the show for Liverpool against Everton, which left not just Mohamed Salah but every observer feeling awestruck.
The Reds have a good one on their hands to say the least.
