Mo Salah had just played in the second half and has already scored two goals and provided one assist. He posted his name on the Premier League record books.
“With two goals and one assist, Mohamed Salah was the first substitute to be involved in three goals in a Premier League match for Liverpool. He was tireless,” said @OptaJoe.
Mo Salah did it in just 33 minutes of playing. The score was also the second largest against Palace after previously beating them 9-0 in 1989.
Not only special for Mo Salah but also Sadio Mane. The Senegalese winger continued his good record of goals against the London team.
“Sadio Mane has scored in each of the last seven Premier League games against Crystal Palace, only Robin van Persie (eight goals against Stoke City) has scored more consecutive goals against the same team,” added @OptaJoe.
