Klopp takes his hat off to Salah
bottom corner. Steve Cook put through his own net for 3-0, at which point Sadio Mane came off the bench to leave the Cherries players rolling their eyes in exasperation. Then Salah twice left embarrassed keeper Asmir Begovic on his backside to complete his hat-trick.
“I’d say even the first was an exceptional finish,” Klopp said. “How often do we get a situation like that and the guy who gets the ball thinks, ‘Oh, free goal’, and we are still looking for the ball. He made that really composed. And two and three, I don’t know who’d have scored these goals. That was outstanding.” Cook will be glad to see the back of Salah, having tried and failed to foul the Egyptian ahead of his second goal and then been outpaced by him before the forward netted his third. Cherries team-mate Charlie Daniels said: “Steve had a bad day but take one bad day out of an amazing seven years since we’ve been here, and we’ll take that.”
