Michael Owen believes Mohamed Salah was still 'quite quiet' in Liverpool's victory against Ajax - but added that his goal should give him a huge confidence boost.
The Reds got their Champions League campaign up and running with a 2-1 win over the Dutch outfit, Joel Matip's 89th-minute header creeping far enough over the line for goal-line technology to alert referee Artur Dias and send the Kop into rapture. Salah had opened the scoring at Anfield after 15 minutes, latching onto Diogo Jota's intelligent pass and sliding the ball past Remko Pasveer.
But despite the early finish - which ended his four-game goalless streak - the Egyptian winger watched a lot of the tie from the fringes, hugging the touchline and not managing to dominate Liverpool's attacking play as he has done so often previously. And former Reds striker Owen echoed that the 30-year-old was 'quite quiet', but added his goal should give him a boost.
