Salah: A good run of form

"It was difficult coming back after injury, it was the first time that's happened to me," the Egyptian forward revealed after his two-goal display this evening. "We're going through a good run of form, not just me but the whole team.

"I'm pleased to have scored today but the most important thing was that we won."

You were more incisive in the second half compared to the opening 45.

"After the first half, there were a few complaints about the chances we missed but luckily we won and continued our climb up the table."

Can you reveal to us how you managed to score the goal for 4-0?

"When I got the ball from Radja I wanted to pass it to Edin Dzeko, but my touch was poor and the goalkeeper had narrowed the angle. The only chance I had was to try and shoot. I did that and it went well."

What are your feelings about Kevin Strootman's return?

"I'm very pleased he's come back. He's a great player and a great guy so I'm happy for him."
