Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp expressed admiration for Mohamed Salah's game-changing performance in the 4-2 win against Newcastle. Despite having a first-half penalty saved, Salah showcased resilience by scoring his 150th and 151st league goals, propelling Liverpool three points clear at the top.
With Salah and Wataru Endo departing for international duty, Klopp commended Salah's ability to influence and improve the game, emphasizing his crucial role in steering the match in the right direction. Klopp, who temporarily lost his wedding ring during post-match celebrations, humorously credited a television cameraman for its recovery, adding a lighthearted touch to the team's success. Salah, expressing confidence in Liverpool's squad, backed the team to maintain their title challenge during his absence for the Africa Cup of Nations.
