'All goalscorers are greedy at times... he takes it to another level': Graeme Souness praises 'selfish' Mohamed Salah for desperation to win the Golden Boot after netting twice in win at Brighton

'Selfish' Mohamed Salah's insatiable appetite for goals is on a whole new level to his rivals in the eyes of former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness.

But rather than criticise the Reds attacker for his tunnel-vision, Souness was full of praise for Salah after he netted a brace against Brighton to boost his Golden Boot credentials.

The pair of strikes, which were decisive in a 3-1 win on the south coast on Wednesday, took Salah's league tally for 2019-20 to 19, placing him third in the scoring chart behind Jamie Vardy (22) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (20).
