Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hailed Mohamed Salah as "world-class" after his performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Salah's goal against the Cherries means he has scored 20 goals for the Reds in three consecutive seasons, the first player to do so since Michael Owen in 2002/03.

Asked by the club's website how much the goal impacts Salah's legacy, Klopp replied: "I don't think he needed that goal to do that, but it helps obviously that people [will] remember you.

"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.

"We need the boys because with all the good stuff you can do on the pitch, in the end you need somebody to finish it off and very often, thank God, it was Mo."
