Salah was second in the Premier League’s top scorer charts heading into Saturday afternoon’s clash with the Magpies at Anfield but closed the gap on Harry Kane [21] in the Golden Boot race as he struck with just three minutes on the clock.
After a searching cross from Sadio Mane, the ball was flicked on by a Newcastle defender before dropping at Salah’s feet with his back to goal.
The 28-year-old used his body and strength superbly to fend off a challenge, before turning on the spot and lashing a sharp finish into the net – leaving Martin Dubravka helpless.
Most of the chances created by Newcastle, for whom forward Allan Saint-Maximin was a constant live wire, came in the first half and again after Willock and Wilson, the fit-again striker, came off the bench halfway through the second half.
Willock also scored an 82nd-minute winner against West Ham last weekend, as well as an 85th-minute equalizer against Tottenham on April 4.
Newcastle moved nine points above the relegation zone with five games left.
