Liverpool captain ​Henderson lauds Salah wonder-goal

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was full of praise for Mohamed Salah and the wonder goal he scored against RB Salzburg.

The Reds were dealing with a lot of pressure from their Champions League opponents in the game.

But Salah's goal against the run of place helped them clinch all three points and progression to the last 16 of the competition.

Henderson was delighted with the goal and spoke about it with reporters afterward.

The club captain told reporters: "I can't believe he scored that second one from the angle he was at, it was a magnificent finish.

"He would probably have been wanting a couple more with the chances he had but he kept going, kept plugging away and was a threat all night really.

"That he kept going is the most important thing. You are going to get chances and are going to miss chances, that's part of football. But he kept going and I don't know how he got the second one in but it is a great run and a magnificent finish and he was so dangerous all night."
