Liverpool striker Salah has dig at Henderson after Southampton win

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah enjoyed a dig at Jordan Henderson after they both scored in victory at Southampton.

Salah's goal at St. Mary's was his 50th in the Premier League for Liverpool, becoming the fastest player to hit that landmark for the Reds.

“I think that's goal number 50 in the Premier League for Liverpool, that's special. So, after nine games I'm very happy and proud to score the goal and help the team. That's the most important thing for us," he told Sky Sports.

“I scored my first goal in nine games, he scored his first goal in 20 games!"

Salah also admitted that he did not consider passing to fellow forward Roberto Firmino, who joined him hitting Southampton on the counter, as he only had eyes for goal.

“Not at all! As a striker you need to score, I'm always thinking about scoring. I took the decision to take a shot and in the end it's a goal so I'm happy about it," he responded when asked if he considered passing.
