The Egyptian was undoubtedly the difference-
maker at Dean Court, but showed real class off
the pitch as well as he gifted his award to his
team-mate
Mohamed Salah, fresh off the back of scoring a
hat-trick against Bournemouth, gave his man-of-
the-match award to James Milner to
commemorate his 500th Premier League
appearance .
Milner was named as the Reds' right-back for
the clash at Dean Court, with Jurgen Klopp
having chosen to bench his only fit orthodox
right-back in Trent Alexander-Arnold ahead of
Tuesday's Champions League match-up with
Napoli at Anfield.
Klopp said before the match that he was
confident the utility man would cope in an
unfamiliar role, going so far as to say Milner
would have played in goal if it meant getting to
500 games .

As the German boss predicted, however, Milner
deputised ably in Alexander-Arnold's absence
and became the second youngest player to hit
the 500-game milestone, just over 100 days
later than Gareth Barry.
And it wasn't just Milner who was singled out
for praise, with Salah having bagged three goals
to take him - since the start of last season -
within just one strike of Barcelona star Lionel
Messi.
Indeed, his opener was his 40th goal in his
52nd league appearance for Liverpool, the
fastest a player has ever reached that milestone
in a Reds shirt.
Still, the Egyptian refused to take his man of
the match award whilst being interviewed
alongside Milner after the match, telling Sky
Sports: "No, no. Five hundred games. I have to
congratulate [Milner] on his amazing career, he
deserves it today.

"He's had an amazing career so I hope we're
going to win something this season together.
But no, I won't take it."
Liverpool, currently enjoying their best start to a
domestic season having accrued 42 points from
their opening 16 games, moved top of the
Premier League with the victory, one point
ahead of Manchester City who face Chelsea
later on Saturday.
Next up for Klopp's Reds is Napoli's visit to
Anfield, with a win required for the hosts if they
are to have any hope of making it to the knock-
out rounds of the Champions League.

That is called sportsmanship. Kudos to you sallah

This shows that Mo Salah is one of the nicest guys in world football. Congratulations on James Milner on the milestone. I remember that when he was released by Manchester City, everyone thought that this is the end for him but he has answered his critics really well.
