  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Egypt star played a pivotal role as Arne Slot's team twice came from behind to draw 3-3 with Newcastle. Salah set up Curtis Jones to equalise for the Reds following Alexander Isak's first-half opener. He then scored one of his own to pull his team level once again before firing in a second to put them ahead, only for Newcastle to earn a point with a late goal.
