Steven Gerrard sends Liverpool message to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has urged Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to surpass one of his goalscoring records at the club.

Gerrard remains the Reds' leading scorer in the Champions League (30) but is being hunted down by the prolific duo.

Mane and Salah were able to boost their numbers in Tuesday's comprehensive 5-1 win over Porto and are highly likely to continue adding to their respective tallies during the current European campaign.

Salah is just one goal shy of equalling Gerrard's 30-goal figure while Mane ranks in third position having found the back of the net 20 times.

Losing a club record to another player can be a disappointing moment for certain individuals, but the Rangers boss hopes to see the Liverpool duo continue to hit the target.

Reacting to an Instagram post shared by Liverpool on the club's leading scorers in the competition, Gerrard commented: "Smash it lads", in reference to Salah and Mane.

Salah, in particular, has been deadly in the final third in the early stages of this season.

The Egyptian forward has scored eight times in eight outings for the Reds and will be hopeful of continuing to produce for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Mane, meanwhile, is showing signs of rediscovering his form of seasons gone by having experienced an off-year during the 2020/21 campaign.
