Reuters, November 6, LONDON – Juergen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, called Mohamed Salah’s statistics “crazy” after his team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Sunday thanks to the Egyptian striker’s brace.
After suffering back-to-back league defeats, Salah handed Liverpool a two-goal advantage before halftime, and after Harry Kane pulled one back in the second half, Liverpool survived a storm.
With three more goals, Salah will surpass Kenny Dalglish as Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer, but Klopp promised he wouldn’t stop there.
Klopp remarked, “Kenny Dalglish and Robbie Fowler definitely had spells where they didn’t score. “Mo will not stop; he is among Liverpool’s top eight scorers and he will not stop,” When you look at Mo’s stats, goals and assists, it’s insane.
Salah has only scored six Premier League goals this year, but he already appears to be back to his best, which is excellent news for Liverpool as they attempt to recover from a dismal season’s beginning.
He has contributed to 19 goals from 20 appearances in all competitions this season, a total he has only surpassed once at this point in his six seasons with the team.
Even though he had a “difficult start,” Klopp claimed that “he was involved in most European opportunities, but we didn’t take them or he didn’t take them.”
“That may happen for a striker, it’s a very normal phase… in the end, everyone will remember one of the best strikers you ever saw when you look back on his career in four, five, or six years.” He scored the two goals tonight, which delighted me the most, and he then performed like a true team member.
” After losses to Nottingham Forest and Leeds United, Klopp celebrated wildly at the end on Sunday and he admitted winning at Tottenham could be a big moment for his team who moved up to eighth place in the table.
Yes, he admitted, “I got a little carried away, but it was large, extremely big.”
