Watch Roberto Firmino’s graceful backheel pass assist to Mohamed Salah’s spectacular goal against Newcastle United to make 3-1.

Liverpool have made a sensational return against Newcastle United after conceding in the initial minutes of the game from Jetro Williems’ strike.

To the Toons bad luck, Liverpool were able to overcome the deficit after Sadio Mane’s brace to give Liverpool the lead in the game.

From there, the Reds dominated throughout the rest of the game. Thus, it seemed inevitable that Liverpool will be able to score one more past Newcastle United after seeing the pressure asserted by Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Apart from it, Mohamed Salah was seen missing from the scoresheet but in the 72nd minute the Egyptian International was able to make his impression.

Amidst all of it, the style in which Salah scored the goal was jaw-dropping, as Firmino and Salah paired up in fashion to make it 3-1.

The Brazilian forward gave an audacious backheel flick to stem his teammate for the goal in a remarkable style. From there, Salah walks past Newcastle United defence and placed the ball at the far-post.

Thus giving Liverpool the two goal lead against the Toons and letting the Reds secure the three points to maintain their lead in the Premier League table.

So far, Jurgen Klopp’s side is undefeated in the Premier League’s new campaign and are lurking away from Manchester City with five points lead with the Citizens yet to play this gameweek.

Let’s see, if the Reds will manage to uphold this glorious lead, when the real challenge arrives to them in further rounds of the league.
