Sir Kenny Dalglish sent a special message to Mohamed Salah after he moved level with 172 goals for Liverpool on Boxing Day.
Salah opened the scoring from close range as the Reds returned to Premier League action by beating Aston Villa 3-1 away from home.
The fifth-minute effort was the No.11’s 172nd goal for the club in all competitions, which equalled the tally achieved by Dalglish during his legendary playing spell at Anfield.
Salah and Dalglish now share seventh place in Liverpool’s all-time list of top men’s goalscorers, prompting a tribute from the latter to the former.
“A fantastic achievement for Mo Salah and great to be in the stands to watch the goal go in,” Sir Kenny posted on social media after the match.
“The first time I’ve taken my grandson to an away game – thank you for making it a memorable one! Delighted to hand over the baton and I hope it brings even more success! YNWA.”
