Salah draws level with Gerrard as Liverpool's all-time leading Champions League goalscorer

Mohamed Salah moved level with Steven Gerrard as Liverpool's top goal scorer in European Cup and Champions League history on Tuesday.

Salah netted a stunning breakaway goal early in the second half against Atalanta as the Reds tore the Serie A side apart in a 5-0 victory.

That strike, a composed left-footed finish at the end of a rapid burst forward, was the Egypt international's 21st in the Champions League proper for the team. Salah has therefore tied Gerrard's all-time club benchmark.
