MOHAMED SALAH produced a moment of brilliance to seal a win for Liverpool against Arsenal on Saturday evening.
It put the shine on what was an enterprising, hard-working display from the home side who made all the running while Arsenal threatened on the counter-attack.
Joel Matip opened the scoring with a towering header from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner, before Salah won and converted a penalty after David Luiz tugged his shirt in the box.
