Liverpool boss Klopp happy for Salah after landmark goal

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy for Mohamed Salah after he reached 200 goals for the club.

Salah scored his 200th goal in victory at Crystal Palace.

Klopp later said: "[It's] pretty impressive. We carried that shirt already since two weeks with us and now finally we could give it to him.

"It was pretty much the best moment to score it, to be 100 per cent honest. Incredible number for a super-special, super, super-special player. I don't know how often he saved us with a goal he scored in the right moment.

"It was a pretty loud reception in the dressing room when I gave him the shirt with the 200 on the back. Players were asking for a speech, but you have to ask him if he had one, because I [had to] go for media work! I don't know if he had one.

"But [it's] really special, [I'm] really happy for him now that it's off the shoulder because when you have 199 it's probably different to 198, so now we can go for the next 100."
