'So would I' - Gary Lineker makes Mohamed Salah claim after what he spotted from Liverpool star

Gary Lineker says he 'loves' watching Mohamed Salah play football after spotting the smile on his face while turning out for Liverpool against Newcastle United on Thursday.

Salah is in the form of his life and has added to his tally in the Premier League after giving Liverpool the lead in the match against Newcastle.

The Egyptian calmly finished off a loose ball to take his goals tally in the league to 15 goals as he looks like further increasing that number.

Liverpool fell behind after seven minutes as Jonjo Shelvey put Newcastle in the lead with a strike from distance before Diogo Jota and Salah finished their chances nicely.

Salah has been praised from all corners this season and Gary Lineker has taken to social media to express his opinion.

“Love watching Mo Salah play. Wonderfully imaginative footballer who plays with a smile on his face….then again, so would I if I was that good,” Lineker said on Twitter

The former Everton striker also highlighted how scoring against Liverpool early on at Anfield may be to your own detriment: “I’m not sure it’s a good idea to score an early goal against Liverpool at Anfield.”

Salah’s goal, which was his fifth in five games against Newcastle at Anfield, sent Liverpool in at the half-time break leading 2-1.
