Mohamed Salah was the hero for Liverpool on Friday evening as his brilliant solo goal inspired a crucial victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men against Southampton.
After a dismal start, the Reds fought back with a headed equaliser from Naby Keita, before Salah sprinted from his own half to find the back of the net and Jordan Henderson sealed the victory on the south coast.
