Cutting in from the right-hand flank, Salah evaded one Chelsea challenge before unleashing a powerful effort that gave the Blues' goalkeeper no chance.

It helped seal the points that took Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League, two clear of Manchester City who have a game in hand against local rivals Manchester United next week.

Salah duly soaked up the wild celebrations on the Kop, striking a never-before-seen yoga pose as the supporters serenaded him.

Left foot, right foot, headers, curlers, chips and long-range blasts have all formed formed part of Salah's varied repertoire in front of goal.

Salah's 66th Liverpool goal could quite possibly be his very best. A powerful long-range effort that whistled into the the top corner. The strike marked a change in the Egyptian's style with the Reds attacker usually favouring precision over power. This one had the lot, though.

Tottenham

Salah managed to escape the attentions of several Spurs defenders in this breathless 2-2 draw in February last year before lifting it over the diving Hugo Lloris into the roof of the net. A tour-de-force of a goal that showcased Salah's breath-taking dribbling ability, pace and unerring eye to find the net.

Southampton

The Saints simply afforded Salah too much space here and he made them pay by curling a 25-yard effort beyond Fraser Forster. The Southampton goalkeeper got nowhere near it.

Porto

Salah's 30th for Liverpool was one that sticks in the memory . Reacting first, Salah took one touch to steady himself somewhat with his weaker right after James Milner's effort had struck the woodwork. After seeing the onrushing Jose Sa come out to close him down, Salah nonchalantly flicked it out of reach of the despairing Porto keeper before poking home past Alex Telles.

Manchester City

A stirring victory for the Reds this one, topped off by Salah's 40-yard clip over Ederson who had made a complete hash of an attempted clearance. The Brazilian keeper could only smash it into the path of Salah who took one step to cushion the ball before effortlessly slotting home Liverpool's fourth.

Man City (Champions League)

With Liverpool's two-goal cushion over Manchester City in their first Champions League quarter-final tie for nine years teetering, Salah took the game by the scruff of its neck. Pouncing on a loose ball after Sadio Mane had found himself crowded out, time stopped for the ice-cold Salah as he dinked the ball over Ederson into the City net to all but secure the Reds' place in the last four. A player operating at the absolute peak of his powers.

Everton

A goal good enough to win FIFA's Puskas award in your Merseyside derby debut? It could only be the Egyptian King. The  Liverpool  star marked his first derby in style with a stunning solo goal against Everton on December 10 2017. Salah shrugged off a challenge from Cuco Martina before nudging it past Idrissa Gueye and curling it beyond Jordan Pickford into the top corner to give Liverpool the lead.

Roma

An electric Anfield was treated to this beauty in its first Champions League semi-final for 10 years last April. The Reds finally made their dominance tell when they took the lead with a curling effort from Salah on 35 minutes. The Roma goalkeeper could only watch as the Reds forward bent an effort into the top corner to give Anfield lift-off. Thankfully for Alisson, he only has to come against Salah in training, these days.

Watford

On a day where Salah scored four, this was the pick of the bunch. Liverpool 's star man was flanked by as many as four Watford defenders, but he made them all look foolish as he escaped their attention with dazzling footwork before poking home.

Stoke

Left on the bench for a visit to Stoke City in November 2017, Salah's introduction proved to be a masterstoke from Klopp as the Egyptian netted twice to give the Reds an ultimately comfortable 3-0 win. The first was a humdinger - meeting Mane's cross into the box post with a ferocious volley. Textbook technique.

Napoli

Salah's goal was the difference at Anfield in December as they edged out Napoli 1-0 to advance into the Champions league knockout stages. Khalidou Koulibaly had formed an imposing figure at the heart of Napoli's defence all night, but Salah slipped by him with ease before slotting through the legs of goalkeeper David Ospina.
