Jamie Carragher says ''The only man who can score that goal is Messi'' against Tottenham

Jamie Carragher says only Lionel Messi is capable of reproducing that same Smart last minute drift against tottenham.

The Egyptian looked to have won the Reds the game at Anfield on Sunday with a brilliant slaloming run and powerful finish to put them 2-1 up in the 91st minute. However, Spurs were awarded a controversial penalty - their second of the game - just moments later, from which Harry Kane secured a 2-2 draw .

But Carragher claims that his former side's loss of two points shouldn't take away from the quality of Salah's goal - his second of the game after he opened the scoring in just the third minute.

Jamie Carragher was full of praise for the wild winger
"The only (other) man who can score that goal is Messi," said Carragher on Sky Sports.

"If you think of Messi scoring goals, that's what he does in the tight areas and dinks it over the goalkeeper."

Salah has now hit 28 goals in 33 appearances in all competitions in his maiden Liverpool season, and Graeme Souness - another former Reds great - also saluted him.

"There is so much to admire about this: his strength, his change of direction and his low centre of gravity," said Souness.

"If you look at Salah, he can resist a challenge. He looks to have really powerful thighs. He can change direction very quickly."

"It was a fantastic goal, it was an outstanding goal, it was an outstanding performance," he said.

"He was a threat the whole 90 minutes that's true."

Salah became the first Liverpool player to reach a total of 20 goals in their 25 appearance in the Premier league history followed by Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge.
