Virgil van Dijk has hit back at Liverpool's critics while lauding Mohamed Salah's efforts for the Reds in what has been a difficult season for Jurgen Klopp's men.
The Egyptian netted his 30th goal of the season in Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday to keep their slim hopes of Champions League qualification alive. Currently fifth in the table, defeats for Manchester United and Newcastle United on Sunday leave them just a point off the top four, albeit having played a game more than both of the sides above them.
Salah's Anfield winner also saw him become the first Reds player to score in nine home games in a row, while it was his 186th goal for the club as he moved level with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard in fifth-place in the club's all-time scoring charts.
