Jürgen Klopp savoured what he suggested was a comprehensive mood changer at Liverpool – the “freak” 7-1 destruction of Rangers which has all but ensured the club’s qualification to the Champions League knockout rounds – as he saluted the hat-trick hero Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool’s first away win of a difficult season has given them a boost before the Premier League visit of Manchester City to Anfield on Sunday. Roberto Firmino scored two and then set up the third for Darwin Núñez before Salah, on as a substitute, struck a six-minute hat‑trick – the fastest in Champions League history. Harvey Elliott added the seventh.
