Salah bags hat trick, earns 9/10 as Liverpool outlast Leeds 4-3

Two Mohamed Salah penalties bookended a pulsating 4-3 victory for Liverpool against Leeds United on the opening day of the new Premier League season.

Salah put his side ahead from the penalty spot in the fourth minute after Robin Koch was harshly judged to have deliberately handled, but that strike sparked a flurry of goals that saw the sides share four of them in the next 20 first-half minutes.

Mateusz Klich's volley midway through the second half looked to have sealed a point for the newly-promoted visitors, but after substitute Rodrigo tripped Fabinho in the box, Salah again stepped up to slot home from 12 yards to seal three points and complete his hat trick.
