Alan Shearer has described Mohamed Salah’s skill and control against Norwich City as 'outrageous' after he netted his 150th Liverpool goal at the weekend.
Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker picked out Salah with a thumping goal kick which he excellently controlled, before eventually firing past Norwich City stopper Angus Gunn.
The goal was not only Salah’s 150th for the Reds, but also fired his side ahead for the first time against Dean Smith’s men on Saturday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp’s side initially fell behind when Milot Rashica's deflected strike gave the Canaries the lead before Sadio Mane restored parity four minutes after the hour mark.

And after Salah fired Liverpool ahead, Jordan Henderson sealed all three points for his side inside the final 10 minutes at Anfield.
“That’s 150 goals and counting for Liverpool. His skill and control was outrageous at times,” Shearer wrote in his Team of the Week column on the Premier League website.
While speaking after the game, Reds boss Klopp admitted nobody predicted how quickly Salah would become a Liverpool goalscoring legend at the club.
He said: “Today was a really cheeky one to be honest. I remember the Chelsea goal where he cut inside and thunderbolt in the far corner.
“A few of the dribbling ones, against City and Watford. The United goal I like a lot, the 2-0. Ali’s pass as well. Champions League, the one at City as well. It was very special. I can’t remember all 150 but I can remember a lot. There were some good goals.
“The first one at Watford, that was maybe the easiest goal he scored since he was here. If Luis could use the first goal for a similar journey it would be cool!
“Nobody could expect on that day when he scored at Watford in this period of time it would be possible for him to score 149 more. Really special.”
Before Klopp added: "He had an incredible game today. I said at half-time, 'don't force it'. The first touch was insane today. It was a perfect game for scoring the 150th."
