Sky Sports and BBC Sport pundit Micah Richards has raved about Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

The former Manchester City defender has written in The Daily Mail that Liverpool and Egypt international forward Salah is a phenomenal player.

Richards has said that the 30-year-old is “astonishing” him now.

The pundit made the comments in the wake of Salah scoring yet again for Liverpool this past weekend.

The Reds got the better of Brentford 1-0 at Anfield in the Premier League.

Salah scored the only goal of the match in the 13th minute.

As reported by BBC Sport, scoring the goals means that the Egyptian is now “the first player in Reds history to score in nine consecutive home appearances, while his winner was his 100th goal for the Reds at Anfield.”

Salah has scored 19 goals and given seven assists in 34 Premier League starts for Liverpool this season.

It was also the former Chelsea player’s 30th goal of the season.

Salah has scored 139 goals and created 82 big chances in 228 Premier League appearances so far in his career.

Liverpool are not having the best of seasons, but they could still finish in the top four of the Premier League table.

That would be really phenomenal for a side who did not have any chance of finishing above Manchester United or Newcastle United in the standings this season just a few weeks ago.
