Watch Mo Salah’s Goals against Atletico Madrid
Salah made history by becoming the first Liverpool player to score in nine successive matches to earn the Reds a dramatic win away to 10-man Atletico in Madrid on Tuesday.
LaLiga champions Atletico had two-goal Antoine Griezmann sent off and a late penalty contentiously overturned in the Group B battle.
After opening the scoring in the eighth minute before Naby Keita made it 2-0 five minutes later, Salah converted a penalty with 12 minutes remaining to give Liverpool a five-point lead in the group.
With 31 goals, Salah – who has a 90 percent penalty-conversion rate for the club across all competitions – is now Liverpool’s all-time leading scorer in the Champions League.
Liverpool beat Atletico for the first time in the Champions League (D2 L2), while the victory ended a five-game winless run in away games against Spanish sides in the competition (D1 L4).
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool led 2-0 after just 13 minutes – the earliest Atletico have ever been two goals down in a Champions League match before.
However, it was also the first time Liverpool have ever scored and conceded two or more goals in the opening half of a Champions League fixture.
