Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson believes Mohamed Salah's form is a result of him being a 'hungry player'.

The Egyptian scored a double in the 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, taking his tally to 12 goals from 11 games across all competitions.

Asked about Salah's performance, Alisson told the club's website: "I'm really happy for him, he's a fantastic player.

"He's showing on the pitch all the time, making really nice goals, not just easy goals.

"But he contributes a lot for the team as well – not only scoring but helping in the defensive phase, playing for the team.

"He is a hungry player, he's a hungry striker. I'm really happy for him. I hope that he continues that."
