Mohamed Salah and Jurgen Klopp were at odds last weekend but their brief spat appears over after the Liverpool manager called the forward “absolutely outstanding” for his part in a 4-2 win over Tottenham, before saying he loves “absolutely everything” about the club as he looked towards his final home game of the season, against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The victory against Spurs means that the club are technically still in with a shout of winning the Premier League, but it is more likely that they will remain in third place unless something remarkable happens to both Arsenal and Manchester City above them.
Klopp has announced that he will soon be leaving Anfield after becoming drained by the demands of the job, but the day’s result gave him succour.
He told Sky Sports: “We are outstanding until we are not. It was a really good game. Tottenham can put pressure on Aston Villa again for the Champions League. In high performance things, you need a spark.
“I would say three points is enough and the boys thought that. Anfield was a special place today. We were 4-0 up, I made the changes and we lost organisation. Tottenham showed how good they could be. I was happy with the performance.
“We were good in pretty much all areas offensively. The passes were good. So many things were good. We stayed calm. As long as they don’t break the lines then it’s fine, let them pass. I liked our game a lot. The goals were outstanding.”
“Mo was outstanding, he played a really good game. His side with Harvey [Elliott] was good. I was pleased for him. None of the boys want to play not great, why would they? Mo showed what he is capable of,” he said.
“You do it when you do it and if you miss it, then you miss it. If we win all three then we can achieve the fifth highest points tally of Liverpool.”
‘Love absolutely everything about this club’
Klopp noted that he still had one more game at Anfield, against Wolves in a fortnight. He hinted that it might be a tearful exit as he predicted there would be rain for the game.
“I would be lying if I said I was at my highest emotion but I have another game,” he added. “In two weeks’ time is another day. I have said it before, I love absolutely everything about this club. We will see how this game will be. Maybe it’s pouring down and we cannot stay outside for long.
“There’s a good chance it’ll be raining, by the way.”
