But before Salah came on and hit another two goals to extend his lead at the top of the league's scoring charts, it was Sadio Mane who had Liverpool ahead with what was just a delicious goal.
Dominic Solanke fed him a cheeky little ball - an assist on his first Premier League start for the club - but Mane's first touch was unforeseen by mortals and his finish was exquisite.
The chip of the 'keeper was taking its sweet time to cross the line though and this is where Roberto Firmino's selflessness comes in.
