Liverpool fans loved Mohamed Salah's goal celebration against Chelsea

Mohamed Salah scored one of the goals of his career against Chelsea on Sunday.

The Liverpool striker picked the ball up in the final third before cutting in on his left foot and leathering it past Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The effort put the Reds 2-0 up after Sadio Mane earlier broke the deadlock, and, unsurprisingly, sent Anfield wild.

Salah sprinted towards the Kop after hitting the back of the net as his team-mates swarmed him.

Before they reached him however he had an opportunity to celebrate his goal by himself and did so in a rather unique way.

While lifting one of his legs up the Egyptian put his hands together in front of him.

Fans watching the action took to Twitter to voice their delight in the celebration, with one writing: "That celebration was just something else. I love you Mohamed Salah.

Another added: "Somebody make me a lock-screen out of that Salah celebration and I'll love you forever!"

While a third wrote: "Salah with a NAMASTE celebration. The world is finally good. We are all blessed."

Reason why Pep Guardiola is NOT watching Liverpool vs Chelsea revealed

This isn't the first time Salah has scored for Liverpool against his former club Chelsea, but it is the first time he has celebrated against them.

Back in 2017 the Egyptian netted against the Blues in a 1-1 draw but opted against celebrating the goal.

There were suggestions at the time that Salah didn't celebrate out of respect for his former team.

But the Liverpool Echo reported the forward in fact opted against celebrating as a tribute to the people who died in a terrorist attack on worshippers at a mosque in Sinai, Egypt at the time.
