NO COMPLACENCY
The 26-year-old added that there was no question of Liverpool, whose performance was far from their best, being complacent against lowly Palace.
“We expected before the game that it was going to be very difficult," said Salah, who has now reached the milestone of 50 Premier League goals in 72 appearances.
“First half they played well and they played well also (in the) second half but they were staying (close) to the box and it was a tough game. But in the end the most important thing for us is the result and we got a good result.
“We conceded three goals, it’s hard a little bit but we have to accept it. This is football and we have to live with that," added the league's top scorer with 16 goals.
Klopp expected to see a fighting approach from his side, who mvoed a provisional seven points clear at the top.
"Nobody should be surprised by the character of the boys. If something was here before I came in, it was character.
"Outstanding character and the work rate was always there and we have to mix it in with a few more elements. The boys are ready to fight for all. It was not the first moment we had to show it but it was pretty special," he said.
