Mohamed Salah's ability to surprise Jurgen Klopp took an unexpected twist earlier this month when he showed a rare level of generosity.
In a friendly against RB Leipzig, Liverpool won a penalty and rather than march over and plant the ball on the spot, as is customary for the Egyptian, he handed the responsibility for taking the kick to Darwin Nunez to give him the chance for an early confidence boost.
Nunez, obligingly, took possession and squeezed his shot. It was the first of four goals in a 5-0 win and the importance of getting off the mark was not lost on Salah, who five years earlier had got his Liverpool career up and running with a scruffy finish in a 1-1 draw at Wigan.
