Salah acknowledged the hosts had not produced their finest performance but praised the way they ground out a 3-1 victory that sent them 16 points clear at the top.
Read his immediate reaction at Anfield below…
**On whether it was an afternoon that was all about patience…**
Yeah, it was a tough game, they had a good game plan. It worked well first half for them. But I’m glad that we managed to come back in the second half and win the game.
**On the conversation in the dressing room at half-time…**
A bit of frustration. The manager, his head, was like going for us – but that’s something you need sometimes. Because first half, the game was sloppy, we just were slow and taking our time and in the last minute they managed to \[go ahead in\] the game. But we are now more experienced, we can manage that situation and I’m glad that we did.
**On if it was ‘the kind of performance champions are made of’…**
Yeah, because I don’t think we played well today. Maybe second half we played a little bit better, but first half we didn’t play well at all. But if you want to win the Champions League or the Premier League, you have to win those kinds of games.
