How Mohamed Salah will celebrate breaking Liverpool record in 7-0 drubbing of Man United

Mohamed Salah revealed how he will celebrate becoming Liverpool's all-time leading goalscorer in the Premier League.

Liverpool's devastating victory moved them up to fifth in the table, just three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand. And with Salah in such brilliant form, you would not bet against the Reds nabbing a Champions League place.
