Liverpool, Mohamed Salah and Lille
In a week that he was being compared to Eden Hazard, Mohamed Salah once again underlined his status as Champions League star.
Liverpool cruised from there and secured not only the win, but a direct berth to the round of 16 in the Champions League. Skipping the first round of the knockout stage will give the Reds time to regroup and focus on maintaining their pace in the Premier League amid challengers.
