Liverpool fan spots what James Milner did before Mohamed Salah's goal against Watford

One Liverpool fan has spotted what James Milner did before Mohamed Salah’s against Watford.

The Egyptian scored an individual goal in the Premier League clash at Vicarage Road.

Jurgen Klopp’s side faced the Hornets in their first game following the October international break, with Roberto Firmino scoring a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory in Hertfordshire.

Salah played in a through ball for Sadio Mane who opened the scoring for Liverpool, in what was his sixth goal of the season.

Firmino doubled the visitor’s advantage shortly before half-time, and got his second not long after the restart.

Then, just a few minutes after Firmino’s goal, Salah picks up the ball in the box and uses his skill to navigate his way through the Watford defence before firing the ball past Ben Foster from an acute angle.

Firmino scored his hat-trick goal in the closing moments, with an assist courtesy of substitute Neco Williams.

Video replays got circulated across social media, and one Liverpool fan noticed what Milner did before the ball hit the back of the net.

While Salah was wriggling through the Watford defence, Milner can be seen raising his arms in celebration moments before the forward actually scores.

Salah’s goal had a striking resemblance to his solo strike against Manchester City prior to the international break.

It was Salah’s seventh goal in the Premier League this season and his 10th in all competitions.
