Press conferenceJürgen Klopp on Mohamed Salah: 'Absolutely outstanding, the numbers are crazy'
Jürgen Klopp hailed Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian's brace gave Liverpool victory in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.
Salah's second-half double secured a 2-0 win for the Reds against Everton at Anfield, with the 31-year-old netting the 200th league goal of his career in the process.
First, he stayed calm to convert a penalty in front of the Kop after Michael Keane had handled Luis Diaz's cross. Then, in stoppage time, he latched on to Darwin Nunez's pass to seal the three points in clinical fashion.
He now has eight goals in all competitions for Liverpool this season, and speaking in his post-match press conference, Klopp paid tribute to the No.11.
The Reds boss said: "Look, what I love most about Mo is… well, maybe mostly I love the numbers!
"But I think that Mo Salah played for us an incredible amount of fantastic games. Today was not his best game but then [still] being that clinical with the penalty and then staying in the situation, that's probably his biggest quality, and I love that.
"We need someone who can bring the ball over the line, and he was that again. I couldn't respect that fact more.
"It's absolutely outstanding, the numbers are crazy. He will never stop, that is his nature and that's really cool for us."
