Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on 'world-class striker' Mohamed Salah after his century of Premier League appearances for the club.

Salah achieved the milestone on March 7 when Liverpool secured a 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Bournemouth had scored the opening goal of the match but the Egyptian levelled the scores in the 24th minute. After nine minutes, Sadio Mane netted a goal that sealed the victory for Liverpool.

"Incredibly important goal, a super performance - a really, really good game of Mo. He is an outstanding striker, a world-class striker. It's really nice, I'm really happy for him that he reached that mark and I think Sadio has the chance to do similar stuff. That would be really cool," the club's official website quoted Klopp as saying.

 

Liverpool witnessed a few setbacks in their recent matches as they were outplayed by Chelsea and Watford before they bounced back against Bournemouth.

The Klopp-led side tops the Premier League table with 82 points, 25 points ahead of the second-placed club Manchester City.
