In a thrilling Europa League opener against LASK, Liverpool's manager, Jurgen Klopp, was left in awe as Mohamed Salah, coming off the bench, delivered a “classy” performance that turned the game's tide. The Reds faced an early setback when Florian Flecker netted an excellent strike, putting LASK in the lead.

However, Liverpool quickly bounced back as Darwin Nunez leveled the score from the penalty spot in the early stages of the second half following a foul on Luis Diaz. Seven minutes later, Diaz found the back of the net, giving Liverpool the lead.

But the match's defining moment came when Salah, known for his brilliance, secured all three points for Liverpool with a remarkable goal. Salah received the ball from Nunez in the box, displaying his skill and finesse by maneuvering through two defenders before calmly slotting the ball past Tobias Lawal's legs. Klopp's reaction to this masterful display was evident, as he was spotted with a cheeky grin, leaving fans in awe of Salah's prowess on the field.
