Hugo Ekitike has expressed dissatisfaction with his own performance despite scoring and assisting twice in Liverpool's 5-2 win over West Ham United. The French striker, who has netted 11 league goals in his first full season at Anfield, told LFCTV: 'To be honest, I could score more. I’m not that happy.'
Ekitike, the first Liverpool player since Luis Suarez to reach 11 league goals in a debut full season, added: 'As long as I can help the team and be involved, that’s the most important. I want to win, so personally I’m happy, but I’m looking forward to the upcoming games.'
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah's struggles continued as he failed to score for a 10th consecutive Premier League match. The Egyptian has managed just four goals and six assists in the league this season, a stark contrast to his 30-goal campaign last year.
Former Liverpool winger Mark Kennedy delivered a scathing assessment of Salah on talkSPORT, branding him 'yesterday's man.' Kennedy said: 'When I look at Salah's stats last year, they're absolutely phenomenal. But every time I watch Liverpool, I never liked Salah. I think his ball retention is really, really poor.'
Liverpool's victory marked their third straight Premier League win, the first such streak since December, and moved them within three points of Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification.
