Jurgen Klopp pleased Liverpool are not relying on Mohamed Salah

Jurgen Klopp is pleased his side are finding ways to win without Mohamed Salah being at his absolute best.

The Egyptian scored a total of 44 goals last season for Liverpool in all competitions, becoming the main man at Anfield.

“So far, the best performance was the first matchday but that depended a bit on the opponent may be, and now this today was by far the best performance of the season.
