Mohamed Salah became the first player on Saturday since Luis Suárez (December 2013) scored four goals in a Premier League match for Liverpool. The 25-year-old attacker struck Watford with his hits, but afterwards emphasised that without his teammates he would never have saved it.
“I have to thank all my fellow players because without them I wouldn’t have been able to reach these figures”, says Salah for the camera of BT Sport: “Every match we try to grab the three points, that’s the most important thing. But I also want to score in every match because I want to help the team.

Liverpool was able to use the victory, as Jürgen Klopp’s team lost seven days ago with 2-1 from Manchester United. “I think we reacted well after the previous match. We have achieved a good result, 5-0, and the clean sheet is also important. We now have to look at the upcoming matches.
Liverpool will compete against Crystal Palace on 31 March and then face Manchester City in the quarter finals of the Champions League. By the way, Salah now stands at 28 Premier League hits; the only African to score more Premier League goals in one season was Didier Drogba in 2009/10 (29).
