Liverpool: Salah will win golden boot says Micah Richards
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been compared to Lionel Messi following his stunning goal against Watford on Saturday. Salah backed up his goal from an impossible angle in the Champions League win over Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday with another fine strike during the visit of Nigel Pearson’s side. A swift counter attack saw Sadio Mane find Salah on the left, before the Egyptian cut inside and curled an unstoppable shot past Ben Foster with his weaker right foot.

“He’s inviting Salah to take it on his good foot. But then it’s all about Mo Salah there, we saw him score a goal in the week which was just unbelievable.
“From Watford’s perspective as well, look at the amount of defenders trying to get back.
“I know they’re 0-0 at Anfield, give good credit to them, but the finish, that little touch he took there, most players haven’t got that composure, that little Messi touch, where you chop inside and just want to get the shot away.
“That little extra touch took it out so he could get his body shape right and just lift it into the top corner.
