Thomas Frank makes perfect Mohamed Salah point after Liverpool beat Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank labelled Mohamed Salah as one of the top three players in world football after his double helped Liverpool win 3-0 on Sunday.

Salah scored his 11th and 12th goals of the campaign before Diogo Jota registered as the Reds moved up to second in the Premier League at Anfield.

After the game, Frank was fulsome in his praise of Liverpool's No.11, who has now scored 200 goals in English football, with 198 coming as a Reds player.

"Mo Salah gets praised a lot but I don't know if he gets enough praise," Frank said. "I think now off the top of my head, he is the best player in the Premier League, potentially.

"In terms of goals and assists, what a level. He must be one of the top offensive players in the world. Not like top 10 but top three.

"What he has done and when you have a player of that quality you just know that it is a problem. Also the second goal he cannot avoid to score because we are not doing enough defensively but the first one is a clear signature Liverpool attack. We lose it, counter-attack, bang, into Salah and it is a goal.

"But it is not always a goal for everyone in that situation, that is just the quality of the player and Liverpool's quality. But I am a big believer that if we played this game again we would score at least one goal.

"I think it was a very good football match. Hopefully everyone thought it was an interesting game to play. In so many ways I am pleased with the tea and the performance was good.
