Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is confident Mohamed Salah will not let his incredible scoring exploits go to his head.
Salah’s reintroduction to the Premier League has been so serene that the Egyptian rattled in his 20th goal of the season during Liverpool’s clinical 4-0 defeat of Bournemouth on Sunday.
Only one player in Liverpool’s trophy-laden history, George Allan, has been quicker to reach the milestone while Anfield legend Ian Rush, arguably the club’s greatest ever goal-scorer, was the last to reach 20 before Christmas.
Mignolet said: “He has scored a lot of goals already. Let’s hope he continues scoring goals and gets his tally up.
“He knew what the Premier League was about from his time here before. He then learned and progressed away in Italy. He came back and he knew what it was about.
“He is very strong, not only with the speed he has got, but he is so strong on his feet you can’t run him over. He suits the English style of play, so let’s keep him fit and hope he can score the goals he is doing at the moment.
“We know he is a good player and everybody has to look out for him. He is also one who isn’t going to get carried away which is important in this situation.
“He doesn’t think about anything else other than his job and that is very important because at the same time he is scoring goals and can be the superstar but he is also working very hard to get back and defend. We need that from our wingers because of the way we play and he does that.”
