Jurgen Klopp shrugged off questioning as regards Mohamed Salah’s goal celebration in Liverpool’s win over Watford on Saturday.
The 26-year-old’s smart finish past Ben Foster in the 67th minute handed the Reds a lead, but his goal celebration drew a comparison to Sergio Ramos’ - and teammate Xherdan Shaqiri’s infamous Albanian Eagle celebration at the World Cup.
Asked whether his star forward was imitating the Real Madrid defender, Klopp said: “And then you think a player comes in the dressing room and tells me between the press conference. 'I did it because...'.
“I have no problem with the question. I didn't see him celebrating, I celebrated myself, unfortunately. I did it my way.”
Meanwhile, Salah’s goal was his sixth in only his third game against Watford. He has now scored seven league goals this season.
