'Here we go' - What Mohamed Salah did in Liverpool training to leave team-mates amazed

Mohamed Salah certainly hasn't forgotten where the back of the net is judging by the latest footage to emerge from Liverpool's training.

The Egyptian international has not been in the hottest form of late, netting just once in his last seven matches, but that didn't stop him from showcasing his deadly finishing in front of goal as part of a shooting drill at the AXA Training Centre.

Training alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Harvey Elliott, the trio took it in turns to receive the ball on the edge of the box and control it before taking aim at the goal. A video from Liverpool's official Twitter account shows Salah score his first effort by cushioning the ball and drilling it low into the corner left-footed.

But it was his second effort that caused a stir. Receiving a higher pass inside the 'D', Salah didn't bother taking a touch and instead stepped into the flight path, unleashing an unstoppable left-foot volley. That prompted a celebration from the prolific forward, who made no effort to hide his delight at what he had produced in front of his gasping teammates.

"Here we go! Inside!" shouted Salah, suggesting to the group that he had 'won' the session.

Liverpool will be hoping that their number 11 is warming up for a return to the goal trail when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday. Salah has 17 goals in all competitions this season, including one in the third round against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but you have to go back to Boxing Day for the last time he found the next in the Premier League.

Summer singing Darwin Nunez - who also scored against Wolves in the last round - has nine goals to his name this season, while January addition Cody Gakpo is yet to register a goal, having now made four appearances.
