Liverpool took another step towards potential football immortality on Saturday, winning 2-0 at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah saw the Reds coast to victory against their toothless hosts, moving to within three points of Premier League leaders Manchester City in the process.

Klopp has admitted that he is a little concerned over the fitness of Salah.

The Egyptian netted a penalty to make the game safe for Liverpool, although he did snatch at a number of other chances in the game. He also hobbled out of the action in the second half, prompting some fears among the Liverpool fans.

Afterwards, the Reds boss offered an initial assessment on the knock the 29-year-old accrued.

"We will see," he said. "He thinks it's not serious but we will see when he is sitting down. Something is not 100 per cent right. We think it was the situation before when he hit the ball and got blocked, he went to shoot and got blocked.

"The foot got slightly over-stretched. We'll see."

Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has said he would be concerned about the precedent set if the club were to yield to Salah's contract demands.

The forward's deal will expire at Anfield at the end of next season. Ahead of the clash against Brighton, Klopp conceded there had been an impasse in recent talks, with Salah reported to have turned down Liverpool's initial offer.

Crouch said he can see why Liverpool are hesitant about meeting the amount the forward wants, despite his obvious incredible talent.

"You give him what he wants, Van Dijk's almost as important, Alisson, where does it end? It then becomes a problem, Crouch said.

"We all want to keep Mohamed Salah 100 per cent but he has to fall in line with what they're prepared to pay."

Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was fortunate not to be red-carded on Saturday, as his reckless challenge took out Diaz as the Colombian opened the scoring.

A VAR review looked at the incident, although after the goal was given it was determined that no action was required.

It was a decision that left many onlookers baffled, including Sky Sports punditry pair Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville.

"Got to be a red card!" wrote Neville on Twitter. "I'm convinced the red card wasn't given because it was a goal," added Carragher. "That header goes past the post and it's a red card. It's almost like, a goal is enough."
