Dejan Lovren hailed the brilliance of Philippe Coutinho after Liverpool's victory at Crystal Palace and insisted: “On current form he's the best in the Premier League.”

The Brazilian attacker produced another masterful display in the 4-2 win at Selhurst Park as the Reds moved level on points with leaders Manchester City.

Coutinho, who provided two assists, tormented the Eagles throughout – much to the delight of his Croatian team-mate.

“In my opinion he's the best player in the league at the moment,” Lovren said.

“I have the pleasure and the honour to play with this guy. He is playing for Brazil as well.

“He wasn't just outstanding against Palace, he’s been like that all year. His crosses were perfect. We scored from his set-pieces.

“He is a main part of the team, but it’s not an individual thing that wins us points, it’s the team work.

“It was the team that beat Palace, not just one player. But of course when a team works really good then individual qualities comes out. I think that man against Palace was Philippe Coutinho."
