Liverpool talisman Mohammed Salah has urged his team to "stay humble" after a 3-1 win over Leicester City saw them further their credentials as title favourites.
Arne Slot’s men came from 1-0 down to complete a largely routine victory, with goals coming from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones, and finally Salah.
The forward’s contract is running down, and he is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with sides outside England from the start of the new year.
But he was keen to focus on the result at Anfield.
Speaking to Amazon Prime, Salah said: "It is a good result. They were very tough in the first half and in the second half, the way they prepared themselves, they were very good.

"We managed to score three goals, and it was a great result."
Salah paid tribute to team-mate Gakpo for making the breakthrough that sparked off a comeback winning, adding: "Great. It gives us confidence in the second half to go win the game. 1-0 down and you need to focus on equalising.
"He scored a great goal. It is something he practises a lot in training. It was a great finish from him."
Salah has now scored 100 Premier League goals, and he said he was aiming to add to the achievements, including aiming for his second league title with the club.
He said of his milestone: "Something I am very proud of. We keep working hard and, hopefully, I can go a bit further.
"The most important thing is the team winning - hopefully we win the Premier League.
"It is great, but we focus on each game, and hopefully we carry on like that.
"It feels different [to previous years where they have led the league but not won it], but the most important thing is we need to stay humble.
"This one is very special. Hopefully we win the Premier League and, for this club, it is something I dream of."
Boxing Day saw second-placed Chelsea lose ground on Slot's Reds, falling to a dramatic home defeat to West London rivals Fulham.
