Salah: Halftime rev-up key to Liverpool win

Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah admits a halftime rev-up inspired their 4-3 win over Crystal Palace.

Palace went into the break 1-0 ahead.

Salah told BBC Sport post-match: “We expected before the game that the game was going to be very difficult.

“First half they played well and they played well also [in the] second half but they were staying [close] to the box and it was a tough game. But in the end the most important thing for us is the result and we had a good result.

“We conceded three goals, it's hard a little bit but we have to accept it. This is football and we have to live with that.

“We talked to each other [at half-time] that we had to be strong mentally because this is a tough time.

“This is the most important time for us, when you are struggling you have to be strong in mind, so we talked together and the manager also gave us information and we played well and we deserved the game."
