Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool are indebted to Mohamed Salah after he was presented with a special shirt by his teammates to mark his 200th goal for the club.
Salah, 31, scored and laid on assist for Harvey Elliott in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace
His 76th minute strike at Selhurst Park means he is just the fifth Liverpool player to chalk up 200 goals for the club
Klopp revealed he had been serenaded by his teammates after the match as he summed up just how integral Salah has been down the years.

“Pretty impressive, eh?,”
“We’ve carried that shirt already for two weeks with us, now finally we could give it to him! It was pretty much the best moment to score it, to be 100 per cent honest.
“Incredible number for a super special, super-super special player. I don’t know how often he saved us with a goal he scored in the right moment.
“It was a pretty loud reception for him in the dressing room, when I gave him the shirt with the 200 on the back.
"The players were asking for a speech, but you’ll have to ask him if he gave one, because I had to go for media work then so I don’t know!
“But really, really special. Really happy for him. Now that’s off the shoulder, because when you have 199 it’s probably different to when you have 198. So now we can go for the next 100.”
