Brentford boss Frank: Salah deserves greater praise

Brentford boss Thomas Frank says Mohamed Salah deserves greater recognition in the game.

Salah scored twice as Liverpool defeated the Bees 3-0 on Sunday.

Frank said: "Mo Salah gets praised a lot but I don't know if he gets enough praise, I think now off the top of my head, he is the best player in the Premier League, potentially.

"In terms of goals and assists, what a level. He must be one of the top offensive players in the world. Not like top 10 but top three.

"What he has done and when you have a player of that quality you just know that it is a problem. Also the second goal he cannot avoid to score because we are not doing enough defensively but the first one is a clear signature Liverpool attack. We lose it, counter-attack, bang, into Salah and it is a goal.

"But it is not always a goal for everyone in that situation, that is just the quality of the player and Liverpool's quality. But I am a big believer that if we played this game again we would score at least one goal."
