Alisson Becker reveals the one thing Mo Salah 'doesn't like to do' for Liverpool after match-winning brace against Bournemouth as Reds extended Premier League lead

Salah played a starring role for Liverpool again on Saturday as the Reds beat Bournemouth to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table. The forward now has 21 goals and 13 assists in just 23 games for Liverpool this season in the league in what is another stunning campaign from the Egypt international.

Alisson also played a key role in the victory and was happy to heap praise on his team-mate after the victory at Bournemouth. While Salah is clearly enjoying himself this season, Alisson did reveal there are some facets of the game that the 32-year-old really does not like.

He told Sky Sports: "That second goal is Salah's quality. We know how important he is for the team when he scores these kind of goals. But we have to highlight his hard work for the team. Defending is something he doesn't like to do much, but he does it for the team.”

Salah has now overtaken Chelsea legend Frank Lampard to sit sixth on the list of all-time Premier League scorers with 178 goals.

Liverpool will now switch focus to domestic cup competitions. The Reds face Tottenham in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Thursday, and trail 1-0 from the first leg, and then take on Plymouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday.
