Liverpool fans all say the same thing as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane brilliantly combine against Genk

It was a night that would have made both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane very happy indeed.

Both men scored as Liverpool came out 4-1 winners during a comfortable night for the impressive Reds in Belgium.

And it seems any apparent rift between the duo is now over with both players getting on the scoresheet at the Luminus Arena.

The pair assisted each other for their goals for the first time this season as stats and those reports after the Burnley game were put to bed.

Liverpool went in front inside two minutes when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s low-driven shot left Genk keeper Gaëtan Coucke helpless.

And it was the English international again who scored a delightful outside-the-foot curling effort on the edge of the 18-yard box.

Mane added the third, chasing onto Mo Salah’s through ball to chip Coucke in the 77th minute before the Egyptian weaved his way through Genk’s Colombian centre-back duo Jhon Lucumi and Carlos Cuesta, slotting home a fourth in the 87th.

Genk scored a consolation goal a minute later after good work on the left hand side from Dieumerci Ndongala setting up Nigerian striker Stephen Odey to score through the legs of Liverpool's Alisson Becker.

Liverpool fans have taken delight in reacting to the brilliant combination play by the duo on a positive night for the Reds.

The win puts Liverpool second in Group E, a point behind Napoli at the top who saw off a late charge from Red Bull Salzberg to win 3-2.
