Liverpool put three past Wolves on Saturday to briefly move into top spot and while Mohamed Salah was not among the goalscorers, his influence was paramount to the victory
Mo Salah’s importance to Jurgen Klopp is measured in more than just goals.
âThat was highlighted twice over at Molineux. The little Egyptian didn’t find the net – but then he didn’t need to. He set up others to do it for him. Salah’s remarkable record of either scoring or making an assist was stretched to 11 games as the red machine spluttered into life.
âMore often than not, when Klopp needs someone to make a difference, the 31-year-old has stepped up. Usually, it’s with a goal. Well, that’s happened 139 times so far.
âBut Salah now has 62 assists to his name too and is highly likely to make up significant ground on Kevin De Bruyne who sits atop that particular list, being one dozen ahead of his Merseyside rival.
