Liverpool booked their place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-0 victory against Red Bull Salzburg last night, with second-half goals from Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah getting the job done.

A defeat would have seen the Reds fail to advance, and the hosts were more than ready to stop them, with Erling Braut Haaland only failing to make most of his chances.

Keita’s header 12 minutes after play restarted handed Liverpool a relief, but Salah’s goal 100 seconds later completely allayed their fears.

The Egyptian had squandered a few chances earlier in the game, and he scored one of the most difficult goals to make up for his misses.

Salah went round the Salzburg goalkeeper before finding the net with his right (and weaker) foot from a tight angle outside the box.

The Liverpool star was scoring a right-footed goal from outside the box for the first time since moving to Europe from Egypt, and what an occasion to do it!

Gary Lineker, Micheal Owen and Peter Crouch were all impressed with the strike, reacting thus on Twitter:
