Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was pleased with Mohamed Salah's cameo in the 2-0 win over Leicester City on Thursday.

The Egyptian, who returned from AFCON this week, looked lively after coming on in the second-half and was denied a comeback goal due to some brilliant goalkeeping from Kasper Schmeichel.

Asked about Salah's impact off the bench, Klopp said: "What a quality he has.

"I think the first situation was incredible, the counter. The first move was genius; the defender slipped and he walked away. Unfortunately, Kasper Schmeichel is not a bad goalie, so he made an incredible save and the player from behind… OK, we won 2-0, [but] that was a tackle for sure, I am not sure 100 per cent how you will judge that from a ref point of view.

"Then the crossbar or the edge of the goal, an incredible situation, and the other one I forgot but that's just Mo. He had 35 minutes roundabout, it was the idea to bring him early, that we really can use him then.

"We played a lot of football in the first 55 minutes, so that's tiring for the opponent as well, and that Mo can then come on gives your game a different dimension and we nearly used that."
