Peter Crouch has taken to Twitter to hail Mo Salah’s goal against RB Salzburg on Tuesday night, claiming that the strike was “ridiculous”.

The Egyptian doubled Liverpool’s lead over the Austrian side with a smart finish from an incredibly tight angle, and it was enough to leave the ex-Kop hitman enraptured.

Writing on his personal account after the game, he said: “Right foot, at pace and curling away from goal… ridiculous”.

OPINION

Every now and again you will see a goal so special that it defies all logic, and this was certainly one of those from Mo Salah. Every detail of it is set up in a way that makes you think he can’t score, and yet he does anyway. To be running through at the pace he is is one thing, to be facing an angle as tight as the one presented to him is another entirely, but to then strike the ball with his weaker foot so that curls away from goal and inside the from post is, frankly, dumbfounding. Even describing this goal is difficult enough, so to actually execute it, when your side need to relieve the pressure in a game that could decide their European feat, is nothing short of spectacular. The irony is, of course, that Salah missed a hatful of much easier chances throughout the course of the game, but it is a mark of his quality as a player that he didn’t let that affect him, and that he got his goal in the end.
