Mohamed Salah's goal vs Everton extends Liverpool's astonishing record

Liverpool extended an incredible record in the opening 20 minutes of the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday night.

Jordan Henderson gave the away side the lead nine minutes into the game, curling a splendid left-footed strike past the outstretched Jordan Pickfood.

Ten minutes later, Henderson turned provider when he played Mohamed Salah through on goal and the Egyptian doubled the lead.

Salah's goal was the 18th game in which Liverpool have scored twice , Chelsea being the last team to hold Klopp's side to a single goal back in August.

The 82-year record was broken against Porto last month - Wolverhampton Wanderers held it beforehand.

Meanwhile, Salah's left-footed finish was also the 500th goal scored under Klopp since he arrived at Anfield in 2015.

The goal was enough for some Everton fans, who made their way towards the exit midway through the first-half before Demarai Gray pulled one back for the Blues.
