Liverpool captain Henderson refused to allow Brighton players to rattle Salah

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson made sure Mohamed Salah wasn't distracted for his successful penalty in victory at Brighton.

Even in the most unexpected of ways, the midfielder can be seen as leading by example - even when the Reds have been awarded a penalty.

As Salah prepared to step up shortly after the hour, Henderson could be spotted standing directly behind his team-mate with his back to him - essentially acting as a bodyguard to prevent any pesky opponents attempting to distract the Egyptian.

It clearly worked as Salah rattled in his 20th Premier League goal of the campaign, reports the Liverpool Echo.
