12 minutes into the game, Liverpool Loris Karius fouled the fleet-footed Wilfried Zaha in the box which saw the referee point to the spot. Milivojevic stepped up to give Palace the lead. But in 49th minute, Liverpool pulled one back. Sadio Mane turned in James Milner's cross to level for Liverpool. The Reds completed the comeback when Salah scored the winning goal.
Red-hot Salah eying further records
Salah netted his 29th goal in 2017/18 EPL. He is currently five ahead of Harry Kane. He could become the first Egyptian to win the Golden Boot. Also he could set a record for scoring goals in most number of matches in a 38-game season.
