Liverpool already had three points in hand in their UEFA Champions League group stage game against Rangers on Wednesday as they approached the final quarter hour of the match. But that’s exactly when star midfielder Mo Salah turned in a performance for the ages.
Staked to a 3-1 lead, Salah erupted for a jaw-dropping three goals in 6:12, setting the record for the fastest hat trick in Champions League history in what became a 7-1 Liverpool victory.
It was Salah’s first career hat trick in Champions League play, giving him 41 career goals throughout the competition.
