Mohamed Salah's season of turmoil took a turn for the better in the most comfortable and untroubled game Liverpool have had this season. The Champions League has, however, been a happier hunting ground as Liverpool followed their 3-0 win in Marseille by ruthlessly dismissing Qarabag. And for Salah it was a night when he again felt the affection of the Liverpool fans, who worship him for his stellar contributions to their recent successes. And his joy was clear after scoring, turning to the Kop with arms outstretched before tapping the badge on his Liverpool shirt. Slot enjoyed that moment - and plenty of others - as Liverpool made sure early on there would be no shocks or mistakes by setting up the victory with two early goals.
