Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted for hat-trick ace Mohamaed Salah after their 7-1 win at Champions League opponents Rangers.

The Reds responded to going behind to Scott Arfield's early opener in emphatic style, with Roberto Firmino (two), Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah (three) and Harvey Elliott getting the goals to reinforce their bid for a place in the last 16.

On Salah, Klopp said: "Special. Typical Mo. Very important, the whole thing. How the boys adapted to it, to the positions, to the line-up, the reaction of the boys on the pitch. I thought everybody who started tonight played really well. I cannot think of one player who didn't have a good game; the two kids of the right and left wing, really good, Fabio and Harvey.

"And then when you can change like we changed tonight, if you can do that, the boys come on and are ready to contribute and things like this can happen. It's a freak result and we all know that and we don't make more of it than we should, but obviously it is the best we could have asked for and that is why I am pretty pleased."

On Elliott's first Champions League goal, he added: "A very nice moment. I thought he was going to run into the crowd, that would have been not too cool, but yes. If you know him a bit closer you would even more understand how much it means to him. But he played an exceptional game and deserved this goal, really."
