'Haters, just continue': Dejan Lovren leaps to the defence of close pal Mo Salah after the Egyptian nets record-breaking hat-trick off the bench in Liverpool's 7-1 thumping of Rangers

Former Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren has hit out at Mohamed Salah's critics after the Egyptian netted a six-minute hat-trick against Rangers in the Champions League.

The pair were close friends during Lovren's spell at Liverpool, and it is clear that the Croatian is still routing for his former teammate to succeed.

Salah's hat-trick at the Ibrox Stadium broke records as it is now the quickest one in the history of the Champions League competition, and fans will be hoping that it can help him rediscover his best form in a Liverpool shirt for the remainder of the season.
