Meanwhile, after nine games without a goal, Senegal’s Sadio Mane ended his longest drought since joining Liverpool with a excellent turn and shot into the bottom corner to give the visitors a 2-0 lead at that stage.
Salah produced contrasting finishes late on as he stooped to head home from a corner and then curled a brilliant shot into the top corner.
