The wild night Jürgen Klopp had predicted appeared the product of an over-active imagination when Mohamed Salah put Liverpool into a three-goal lead. By the hour, with the newcomers on level terms at the home of the European champions, he found no pleasure in being proved right. Only in the final outcome.
Salah’s second goal of the game shattered Salzburg’s comeback and sealed Liverpool’s first win of the Champions League campaign after they had conspired to blow their early, convincing lead. Klopp looked on aghast as his defence floundered against Salzburg’s belated recovery but at least in Salah he had the insurance of a proven finisher. With Napoli only drawing at Genk this was a satisfying, if trying night for the European champions.
