Mohamed Salah broke two Champions League records in Liverpool’s rout over Rangers.

Salah featured as a second half substitute for Jurgen Klopp’s side in a 7-1 victory at Ibrox that put qualification for the knockout stage in their grasp.

The Egypt international scored three times in six minutes for the Reds to claim the fastest hat-trick in the history of Europe’s elite club competition.

He also overtook Sergio Aguero and Didier Drogba to become the highest scoring player for an English club in the Champions League with 38 goals.

Klopp hailed the Liverpool forward’s haul as ‘special’ post-match, adding: “We all know Mo, when it is running for him, he is absolutely exceptional.

“Obviously a different position tonight coming on, it was just good. Of course, I hope for him that everything works well from now on, like I hope for us.

“We will have to work on it and that’s what we will do.”
