Liverpool boss Arne Slot praised Mohamed Salah after the "unbelievable" Egyptian equalled Liverpool's record for assists in the English Premier League by setting up Virgil van Dijk's winner in Wednesday's 1-0 victory at Sunderland.
Salah's latest assist - a perfectly weighted corner that Van Dijk headed (61st min) - took his tally to 92, level with Anfield icon Steven Gerrard.
"He has so many records for this club, but to have this one combined with such a great player. Both were unbelievable players for this club. Unfortunately for Steven, I expect Mo to go above him," said Slot.
Liverpool's second win in their last eight league games ended Sunderland's unbeaten home record in the top flight this season. This victory lifted Slot's
sixth-placed team to within two points of fifth-placed Chelsea and three points of fourth-placed Man United.
