Salah then capped a fine performance with Liverpool’s third goal as he becomes the first player to score on the opening weekend in five consecutive Premier League campaigns.

Recall that Liverpool finished third in the Premier League last season, 17 points behind champions Manchester City.

Their season had been derailed by a terrible mid-season slump as they struggled to cope with an injury crisis in defence.
