Danny Murphy has praised the growing connection between Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai in the Liverpool squad.

Speaking on Match of the Day 2, the pundit lauded how the Anfield duo have been playing together, with Szoboszlai and Salah forming quite the partnership down the right-hand side.

The pair were once again fantastic in Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest this weekend, with Salah on the scoresheet to wrap up the three points for the Reds.

Szoboszlai was again fantastic in the midfield, and for Murphy, Salah has never looked as exciting for Liverpool playing alongside the Hungarian as he does right now.

The BBC pundit said; “It’s so exciting. Nunez, I have been crying out to play more often. I think he’s such a threat and he’ll grow in confidence.

“But Szoboszlai and Salah as well, they are building up this relationship which is really blossoming and all the good stuff against Forest was coming down that side.”

Salah is no stranger to having good players to work off at Liverpool, yet the connection the winger is forming with Szoboszlai is proving to be something special.

The 23-year-old midfielder has transformed Liverpool’s midfield fortunes around in a heartbeat, and Salah is one player who is benefiting from Szoboszlai’s impact.

Indeed, the Hungarian youngster has been a revelation at Anfield, and Liverpool fans can clearly see that Salah is thriving playing with Szoboszlai in the Reds squad.
