Goal
Salah scores!
Liverpool have their equaliser just before half-time, and it's Mohamed Salah on his debut!

Firmino opts to square it to Lallana instead of shooting from close range, but the Brazilian's pass goes astray. Somehow, the Reds are still behind.
It feels like a matter of time before Liverpool draw level, as Firmino forces a save from Christian Walton after good work from Salah, before Lallana shoots wide from the edge of the area.
Close!
