Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch is convinced Mohamed Salah is under appreciated by fans.

Salah scored his 100th goal in the Premier League for Liverpool in their 3-3 draw at Brentford on Saturday.

On the striker reaching the mark quicker than anyone previous Crouch wrote for the Daily Mail: "He was also quicker than all-time legends Roger Hunt and Jack Parkinson to a century of top-flight goals for Liverpool.

"Salah is a phenomenon, with Thierry Henry and Sergio Aguero the only foreign imports to have reached the landmark in fewer games. Yet there is still that feeling of under-appreciation and I cannot put my finger on why. Maybe it is because the eye-popping numbers he produces every season have become the norm.

"Compare him to Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez for a moment. They are almost held in higher esteem — and are deemed more special — by supporters. But he has a record that eclipses them easily."
