Mo Salah has been compared to Lionel Messi: “Mohamed Salah against Wolves was like watching Lionel Messi”

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, who put in front against Wolves with a classy near post finish and then provided in the assist for Virgil van Dijk’s goal in the second half, has once again been compared to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi. BBC Sports pundit Garth Crooks was glowing in his praise of the forward. Crooks told the BBC: “This was a blistering performance by Mo Salah against Wolves, especially in the first half. “Salah's movement off the ball was like watching Lionel Messi. He was everywhere. “There was a moment when the Liverpool forward was even defending in his team's back four. “However, it was his goal that made me sit up and applaud this Egyptian national treasure. “It was Salah who took the free-kick, followed the ball into the box and watched his team-mates work the ball around the penalty area. “All the time, Salah never took his eyes off the ball until it left his boot into the back of the net. Genius.”
