Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian King and all round top bloke, has done the inevitable and scored an absolute screamer against his former club, AS Roma, in the Champions League semi-final.
Jurgen Klopp's side were pushing for their first and after Sadio Mane missed two sitters in the opening half hour, the brilliant Salah bagged a beauty to send Liverpool fans into meltdown.
Just minutes later, Salah scored another against his former club and it pretty much sums up his season.

He chips goalkeeper Allison with ease and gives Liverpool a 2-0 lead at the break.
He really is a joy to watch, isn't he?
To think, Liverpool owner John W Henry was initially hesitant about signing the attacker of the price-tag.

Roma owner James Pallotta told ESPN his view of the transfer of the season: "Well, when you look at it now, you can say it's an unbelievable bargain. The issue at the time was that when (director of football) Monchi came in, Salah wanted to leave, he had a year [sic] left on his contract, so in another year you'd get nothing."
"He wanted to go back (to the Premier League) and prove himself, which he certainly has done. We can't tell you that anybody else was calling for Salah at anywhere near that kind of price, so there's a lot of teams that have missed out on the great play he's had this year," he said.
"I told him (Henry) that because he was sort of bitching a little about, "Did we overpay? I think we overpaid," and I said "I'll buy you lunch."
WHAT A MAN!
