It took a while, but Liverpool finally got the job done against RB Salzburg.

During the first half, it looked like they could be in trouble. The Austrian team took the game to the European champions, with them having six shots on target during the first half. After the break, though, the Reds looked far more in control, and once Naby Keita scored the opener, there was only ever going to be one winner. Now, Jurgen Klopp's men can look forward to the next round.

Mohamed Salah was the other man on the scoresheet in this 2-0 victory, but he could have had an awful lot more. During the 90 minutes, he had no less than nine shots at goal, and he missed some truly fantastic chances.

It is fair to say the fans weren't at all happy with his finishing.

There were some horrific misses from the 67-time Egypt international. In all fairness, considering he has 82 goals in 125 games for the club, this was more an anomaly rather than the rule, but the former Borussia Dortmund manager will be hoping that it is the last time the 27-year-old is so wasteful in front of goal.

He did show that he knows where the target is during this match with the goal he grabbed. It was fantastically taken, with the former AS Roma man scoring from what looked like an impossible angle.

There was plenty of praise for the way he put that chance away.

It just goes to show that perseverance pays off.

Still, not everyone was satisfied despite him effectively putting the game to bed with his goal.

His track record speaks for itself. He has won the Premier League's Golden Boot in each of the last two seasons, and that goal tally previously mentioned is stunning. He may not be playing at his peak, but he still has 11 goals and six assists in 21 matches this campaign. Many players would kill for that kind of record.

Still, this week, Klopp may give his star winger some extra finishing exercises at Melwood.

Meanwhile, Liverpool fans react to this incredible Salah stat.
