Salah who had struggled this season, scored the 1st of his 3 goals in the 75th minute and secured the match ball with 2 more ruthless finishes

Liverpool striker, Mohamed Salah, broke record after scoring the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history, as Liverpool thrashed Scottish side, Rangers 7-1.
The visitors opened the scoring after taking the lead through Scott Arfield in the 17th minute at the Ibrox Stadium.
But the Reds forward, Roberto Firmino responded by levelling the score line in the 24th minute for Liverpool, who then ran riot, scoring six more goals in the encounter
This included 3 goals in six minutes from substitute Salah, who returned to form after a very slow start to the season.

Firmino got his brace in the 55th minute before setting up Darwin Nunez to net his second goal in less than one week in the 66th minute.
Salah then took over, scoring the first of his three goals in the 75th minute and secured the match ball with two more ruthless finishes against the hapless Rangers defence.
The visitors were not done, as Rangers conceded the seventh goal through a Harvey Elliott strike, which was eventually awarded by VAR after a little wait.
Liverpool’s spectacular second half meant it was Rangers’ heaviest-ever defeat in a competitive match at home.
Meanwhile, in the second match in the group, Napoli beat Ajax 4-2 in a match played at the Maradona Stadium in Naples, with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen scoring his side’s 4th goal.
Jurgen Klopp’s men, who sit second behind Napoli on 9 points, need just one more point from their final two games away to Ajax and at home to the group leaders to ensure their passage into the knockout stages.
