Mohamed Salah scored two brilliant goals and set up two more as Liverpool beat Roma 5-2 in a remarkable Champions League semi-final first leg at Anfield on Tuesday.

Salah’s stunning brace separated the sides at half-time, and the Egyptian created further goals for Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, with the latter then making it five.

However, an Edin Dzeko goal and a late Diego Perotti penalty gave Roma some hope ahead of next Wednesday’s return.

Social media platform Twitter featured plenty of reaction with one tweet suggesting that only Cristiano Ronaldo can stand between Salah and the Champions League trophy.

Others lamented the decision to take off the Egyptian in 75th minute as the visitors grabbed two away goals in his absence.
