Liverpool boss Arne Slot was once again left singing the praises of Mohamed Salah, but he was pleased with the team's collective efforts too after beating Lille

Egypt and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah become the first player in the club's history to achieve a half-century of goals in Europe with his opening goal

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has said he is "very, very proud" of becoming the first player in the club's history to score 50 goals in Europe.

“Hopefully (it’s) not the last one,” said Salah, whose contract expires at the end of the season and has increasingly raised the prospect that this could be his last with the Merseyside club.

If this is Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style. The Egypt striker scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool and his 22nd in all competitions this season to help Arne Slot’s team secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 win against Lille.

Liverpool have less than two weeks left to make any signings in the January transfer window, but there has still been plenty of news and rumours concerning the Reds' business

Mohamed Salah today became the first Liverpool player to reach 50 goals in European competition. Liverpool won against Lille at home in a new Champions League format that makes the victory entirely about the club’s financial benefit over placement in subsequent stages given the side’s previous dominance.
