Players like Mohamed Salah were on the bench for the clash, as the Reds were having a significant lead ahead of Leicester City and Manchester City in the League table. However, formal Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has claimed that Mohamed Salah would have been mad at Liverpool’s victory. He believes that Salah might have been angry on missing out for having a great chance to increase his own goal tally. Salah has aspirations for the Golden Boot and everybody in the league knows that. Crouch further taunted the Egyptian, stating that he has gone from a winger to a selfish striker. He would not like to sit on the bench and enjoy the team’s performance.
