Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is reluctant to compare Mohamed Salah with former teammate Luis Suarez.

Salah scored four goals in the rout of Watford and Henderson was asked if he was superior to Barcelona star Suarez.

He joked: “Who's the best? Don't be asking me stuff like that!

“They are both fantastic players and you can't compare them.

“They are different players. I know they score a lot of goals and both work hard off the ball but it is very difficult to make that comparison. They are both so good in their own right."

When pressed, Henderson did offer a view - well, a hint - of which of the fab four-goal displays he felt was better.

“I'll have to watch the goals back!" he said, with a roaring laugh. “I do remember Luis had a couple of nutmegs and that 40-yarder…so. Look, they are just both fantastic players.

“Luis moved on to Barcelona and is doing fantastically well. He is a fantastic player who I was privileged to play with. But Mo this season has been unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.

“He is doing it every week, without fail. He's a great lad in the dressing room and to have around the place. He is a big plus to have in the team."
