'I've said many times before what's said between the two of us, for me that stays between the two of us. 'He was back in the squad and we needed him.' After that assist, Salah now has the all-time Premier League record for most goal involvements at a single club, with 277, overtaking Wayne Rooney's tally of 276. The 33-year-old has scored 188 goals and produced 89 assists for Liverpool in the competition since joining in the summer of 2017.

In the 61st, manager Vincent Kompany made a perfectly timed decision in substituting Nicolas Jackson with Harry Kane. This proved to be the right decision as Kane breathed life into the game, relentlessly working to win the ball and make something of it. In five minutes, the striker scored his first, making it 2-0. In the 81st, Assignon from Stuttgart was handed a red, following which Harry Kane made it 4-0 from the spot. He closed off the game with a hattrick, making it 5-0 in the 88th.
