Liverpool’s Salah equals Eto’o’s Champions League knockout record

Mohamed Salah has tied a Champions League mark achieved by Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o by scoring against Real Madrid on Tuesday at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.

With the Spaniards leading 2-0 at half-time thanks to goals from Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio in the 27th and 36th minute, the Egypt international pulled one back in the 51st minute.

Diogo Jota found his way through the La Liga side’s defence before seeing his shot drop in the path of Salah, who took a touch before firing past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois from six yards out.

VAR was called upon to check for a possible offside, although the goal stood and that gave the Anfield giants an important away goal.
