In a game dominated by pre-match talk of paying homage to royalty, it was fitting that it was Liverpool's Egyptian King who had the final say.
For the second game in a row, Mohamed Salah's goal was enough to give Liverpool the three points at Anfield as they emerged from a difficult couple of assignments at home to Fulham and Brentford with back-to-back 1-0 wins.
And as tends to be the case whenever Salah scores these days, his latest strike saw him bring up a whole host of impressive new records as he went level with Steven Gerrard and into fifth in the all-time scorers list at Anfield on 186.
