The Egyptian star continues to shine in the club’s first game of the season

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.

Only Wayne Rooney, who has eight goals and five assists in Premier League openers, has more.
