Ahead of Salah are Harry Kane's 16, Ivan Toney's 13, Aleksandar Mitrovic's 11, Rodrigo's 10, Miguel Almiron and Marcus Rashford's nine, Martin Odegaard's eight.

<strong>He is suffering</strong>

On this, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepted that Mohamed Salah is suffering in attack: "Of course he is suffering, it's a specific, attacking game, it requires a lot of work and a lot of information. It was a well-coached machine the front three, it was all clear what we were doing." In addition, Klopp said his departure from Liverpool, if the owners do not sack him, will be until the end of his contract in 2026.
