The Guinean international has scored two goals in its last two games for the club, although he insists that the three points mark
Naby Keita insisted that he was only focused on helping Liverpool win football games, rather than thinking about the fact that he had just opened his goals account for the Reds.
Having spent most of the season without scoring after pbading RB Leipzig, the Guinean international has now scored essential goals in home and away matches.
The first was the equalizer after Liverpool lost their Premier League clash with Southampton – a game in which they eventually won 3-1 with extra strikes from Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson.

And Keita followed in finding the net in the 2-0 win in the Champions League quarter-final against Porto to allow the Reds to take control of the game.
But he insists that his personal glory is not in his head and that he is only interested in the help of the team as it continues its fight against Manchester City for the title, as well as than his aspirations to the glory of Europe.
Keita said on the club's official website: "Of course, yes, I think everyone, everyone, would be happy to score their first goal.
"But for me, the most important thing is the team – and I would really like the team to win every game we play in. Yes, it's true that it took a while to score, but I am a midfielder and we already have scorers here – Mo Salah, Firmino, Sadio – so we in the midfield take advantage of the opportunity to help them.
"We are here to help them score and if we also have the chance to score ourselves, we try to take it in. But the most important thing is that the team wins – above all else."
Keita was also asked about the adulation he had received for his performances over the last few weeks and added: "When you play, you can not see yourself – it's the people who watch who know [how well you’re playing that’s good].
"When you hear such things about you, you just have to go on and try to do more.You can not stop and you can not be happy about it.I am happy that people m & # 39; appreciate – and what it does for me is to give me more desire to work harder and do more.
"Yes, of course I'm happy [with my form]. When you do good things, you must continue, you must not stop and be happy with that. If I do good things, I have to keep working. For me it's nothing [at the moment]I will continue to train and follow the leader's advice during the sessions – and that's it. "

The next game for the Reds will be a tough test against the top four prospects, Chelsea, at Anfield on Sunday and Keita plans a tough match.
He said: "Chelsea will not be an easy match, it's a team that will win on our field, but since we play at home, we will have the fans who will support us.
"I think it's important for us, but we have not won the points yet, so we'll do our best to try and get them on Sunday."
