Arsene Wenger feels Mohamed Salah was back for his best in Liverpool's defeat of Everton on Monday night.

The Merseyside outfit still harbour hopes of a late run that will see them qualify for the Champions League and Wenger saw signs of Salah getting back to his best.

Wenger told beIN Sports: “Tonight, we again saw the Salah that wins challenges, changes pace, is present in the build-up of the game. After the World Cup, he looked like he had played in the World Cup because he couldn't find his acceleration.

"Tonight was the first time I've seen him again as we know him – a world-class player, deadly in finishing. He still missed two or three chances, but he scored the opener. That will give him confidence.

"We'll see now how he continues. Overall, it was an important night for Salah."
