Liverpool star Mo Salah hit his 50th Premier League goal in just 72 games. Only traditional centre forwards Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole got there quicker.
'Exceptional achievement from a world class player,' said Jurgen Klopp after Salah struck twice in a 4-3 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield.
'He made a few steps in the right direction in the last couple of months. It's an outstanding number. I heard the names of the players who did it quicker. Yeah. Good strikers as well.
