Liverpool boss Klopp warns Europe: 2-goal Salah will keep improving

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with two goal Mohamed Salah for victory over Leicester City.

Klopp is confident Salah will continue his incredible scoring after another super performance.

He said: "Yes, he can keep that standard, for sure. He is still a young player, he can improve. It's not about scoring only, it's about other situations as well. He's so important for us.

"But he knows and I know that he couldn't score if he didn't have the fantastic support of all the other boys. We played fantastic passes. Sadio's idea in the moment before Mo scored the first goal – I don't think a lot of people in the stadium saw that it would be an opportunity. That was really important.

"Yes, I think he can keep the standard but that's normal, all the boys can keep the standard they have in the moment. It's not that it's only a run. The boys show their quality.

"We did that already a few times, the thing is more to get the results. That's what we did tonight. To get this result, the most important thing was the defensive performance, so I'm really happy about the concentration level in all defending moments. They really were spot-on and aggressive in a very legal way. The yellow cards we got, especially the one for Emre, were not necessary I would say. It only showed the desire of the boys to turn this game. I was not happy about the yellow cards but the reaction was cool. It was a good team performance tonight."
