Mohamed Salah's stunning Liverpool goal sends Ian Wright into raptures

It wasn't just fans that were left speechless when Mohamed Salah fired in Liverpool's second goal against Chelsea .

Arsenal and England legend Ian Wright was also sent into raptures after a moment of disbelief as he covered the game as Salah fired a bullet based Kepa Arrizabalaga.

But the man next to him, Shay Given, was not so impressed as he barely took his eyes off his dinner being enjoyed mid-game!

Footage, shared on social media by Olympic gold medalist Samantha Quek, showed the former Newcastle and Manchester City goalkeeper tucking into his dinner as Wright celebrated the unstoppable strike and Steve McManaman also leapt out of his seat.

It led to one fan joking it had to be a "contender for dinner of the season" whilst Wright's reaction had some believing he is a "secret Liverpool fan".

Salah's goal secured a vital win for Jurgen Klopp's side to move them back above Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
