Mohamed Salah set a Premier League record on Saturday as the Egyptian star scored Liverpool's third and final goal in a win over Norwich.
Salah's goal came in the 74th minute after the Liverpool star assisted the first two goals in the 3-0 win.
The finish was a lovely left-footed shot from the top of the box that took a slight deflection, leaving Tim Krul helpless as Salah sealed Liverpool's win.
A new record
With the goal, Salah continued a streak that has seen him dominate in the first game of the Premier League season.
Salah has now scored in five consecutive Premier League openers, becoming the first player to hit that mark.

Additionally, Salah now has 10 total goal involvements in games on the opening weekend of the Premier League in his career, with seven goals and three assists.
Only Wayne Rooney, who has eight goals and five assists in Premier League openers, has more.
Klopp hails Salah as fans return
"Mohamed Salah has trained well, the forwards have looked really sharp, but as soon as it starts getting competitive again, he goes to the next gear, and he showed that again today," Klopp told Sky Sports post-match.
"The occasion was great. It was exactly what we expected and what we'd missed for so long. I applauded the Norwich fans as well because it's so nice to have fans back, wherever they come from.
"I could see in the eyes of the players they had to get used to it again. Everybody has to get used to the atmosphere. We had to get used to the opponent and the game, but we found a way.
"It was a very professional performance and I'm happy about that. There were a few occasions where we should have done better, so it was not perfect, but it was about the result."
