It was a rare abiding memory of joy during a difficult opening few months of the campaign for Liverpool.
As Harvey Elliott waited on a VAR check to see whether his initially-disallowed strike would be allowed to cap a 7-1 Champions League romp at Rangers back in October, Mohamed Salah took a piggyback ride on his younger team-mate as it became clear the goal was about to be given.
The duo have struck up a close bond since Elliott arrived at the club back in July 2019, Salah offering sage advice to the teenager and, in the event of Elliott's sickening injury at Leeds United last season, first on the scene to urge immediate treatment for the stricken player.
