Mohamed Salah wasted no time opening his Champions League account for the season against Atlético Madrid in Liverpool’s opening fixture of the league phase.
The Egyptian got two chances to influence the game right from kick-off as the Reds were awarded a free kick right on the edge of the box. Salah fired in a dangerous left-footed effort into the box as the ball ricocheted off Andrew Robertson and past Jan Oblak. The bang-bang play first made it look like an own goal perhaps given the deflection, but the Scotsman was credited with the goal while Salah registered an assist.
