Harvey Elliott hailed Mohamed Salah’s influence in his Liverpool career after the Egyptian led the Reds’ comeback victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The Reds moved to the top of the Premier League table after beating 10-men Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park having initially gone behind from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n
Salah struck first to level the match before Elliott came off the bench to score a stoppage time winner for Jurgen Klopp’s side.<\/p>\n
The attacking duo shared an insight into their mentor\/mentee relationship after the match, with Elliott crediting his colleague for his vital late strike.<\/p>\n
Elliott praised Salah – who scored his 200th goal for Liverpool in the match – for being ‘by his side’ since breaking through into the first-team and described playing with the world class winger as a ‘pleasure’.<\/p>\n

\u2019I think my finish today just sums up what I\u2019ve learnt from him. If I keep talking about how much I\u2019ve learnt and how much of an influence he\u2019s been on me everyone would get bored,’ Elliott told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n
\u2018Ever since I came through the first door he\u2019s always been by my side, looked after me and its just a pleasure to share the pitch with such a legend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He deserves getting his 200th goal today. no one works as hard as him – and as I said it just sums him up.\u2019<\/p>\n
Elliott’s match-winning goal against Palace was his first of the season in all competitions, with the youngster largely coming on off the bench in games.<\/p>\n

Elliott and Salah have been working together in extra training sessions and in the gym<\/p>\n

Elliott fired Liverpool to victory against Palace with a late strike in stoppage time<\/p>\n
The Young Lions star is held in high regard at the club and Salah revealed he has been working with Elliott individually after training sessions and in the gym to help him improve.<\/p>\n
\u2019Yeah it\u2019s nice to hear. He\u2019s a good kid, he\u2019s learning. I always try to ush him in the gym and also practice after training. Just do something extra because without working hard you won\u2019t achieve something big,’ replied Salah.<\/p>\n
\u2019He\u2019s having a good career and I\u2019m sure he can have much better than that he\u2019s just needs to put in the work. I\u2019m happy for him, always by his side, telling him that if he wants to come speak then I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n
\u2018Sometimes you need to work as a psychologist for the young players but happy about it all,’ he said.<\/p>\n
