Salah makes Liverpool history with goal on opening day of 2020-21 Premier League season v Leeds

Mohamed Salah made Liverpool history with his opening goal of the 2020-21 season against Leeds on Saturday.

The Egyptian fired home a thunderous penalty in the opening minutes at Anfield after Robin Koch had blocked his shot with an outstretched hand in the area.

In doing so, Salah became the first Liverpool player ever to score on the opening day of four consecutive league seasons – and only the second in Premier League history after Teddy Sheringham.
