"What a player he is by the way, oh my word, he could be one of the best strikers in the world. I know we've got Erling Haaland but I think he's got one of the most complete games, and the one thing I think all the top players need is confidence and belief, and he has."
"Every time he steps on the pitch you can tell he's like, 'give me the ball, I'm going to create something'. And today, again, every time he touches the ball something special happens. He makes it look so easy with everything. He's got size, he's got skill, he's got technique, he's got awareness, always in the right place at the right time."
Liverpool defeated West Ham 5-2, with goals from Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and an own goal by Axel Disasi.
