Gakpo said:
“For every attacking player who didn’t score for a few games, it’s always nice to get back on the scoresheet and Darwin did it with a very good goal.
“For Diogo as well. When you are injured and you come back and score that’s always nice and good for the confidence. So really happy.
“Mo is gone after the Newcastle game so we need the goals. Of course, I think I can contribute even more.”
Club captain Virgil van Dijk was similarly confident Liverpool would find a way to keep winning games without their talismanic forward, adding:
“Others have to step up anyway. We have to deal with losing Mo and we have the players up front who can make the difference. Let’s see how we deal with it.”
Salah Shares Second Place in the top flight scoring charts with Dominic Solanke, both boasting 12 goals, trailing the current leader Erling Haaland by two.
However, with his departure for AFCON next week, Salah might be absent from Jurgen Klopp‘s starting XI for a month.
