Mohamed Salah delivers so much more than goals for Liverpool, according to teammate Jordan Henderson.
Salah snapped a barren run to score his 50th Premier League goal in Friday night's win over Southampton.
And Henderson has defended the Egyptian against the criticism he has faced this season.
He wrote in the official matchday programme: "I think I'm right in saying he's bagged 21 goals this season, which by the way is absolutely massive coming on the back of what he achieved last season. That's 65 goals for us overall in almost two seasons – a genuinely staggering figure. Throw in the number of assists too and it tells you everything about what he brings to this team.
"But if you ask all the other lads they'll tell you the same thing: what Mo gives us can't just be measured in the goals he scores himself. It's the same for the entire front three actually – neither Sadio nor Bobby bagged against Southampton but both were absolutely outstanding from start to finish and made a massive difference.
"The three are the epitome of 'team players' – they work, they graft, they give everything to help the team win. And they're all, obviously, world-class forwards.
"I've no idea how many Mo will end up with when the season finishes, except to say I'm pretty confident it'll be more than he has now – but, to be honest, it doesn't matter.
"The number that matters to all of us is our position in the Premier League when 38 games are done and the end outcome in the Champions League. And for Mo, his aim is to get us as close to achieving our aims as possible, in any way he can."
