Liverpool hero Fowler defends 'dodgy decisions' from Salah

Robbie Fowler has defended Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah for some of his "dodgy decisions" in Saturday's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Egyptian drew blank at Wembley and had a few opportunities to set up teammates who were better placed to score.

But the Liverpool legend believes Salah needs to continue being ruthless in front of goal.

He told The Mirror: "I'm not going to start condemning the forwards after such a good win. Yes, Salah was probably the worst culprit, and he not only missed a few chances, but also made a couple of dodgy decisions in possession.

"But he's a goalscorer. He is used to scoring now and he wants to find the net. I know what that's like, and I can't criticise him for that. You can't be moaning at him when the Liverpool forward line took Spurs apart so easily."
