Mohamed Salah scored a magnificent improvised goal to complete Liverpool's 2-0 victory against Watford.

Salah had already given his side the lead with a terrific curled finish off his weaker right foot from the edge of the box in the first half.

However, as the game descended into a nervy finish, the Egyptian produced another moment of individual brilliance to rival his goal against RB Salzburg in midweek.

Sadio Mane burst down the right-wing in stoppage time and cut the ball back into the box, only for Divock Origi to mistime his shot.

But Salah was lingering to his left and, with Ben Foster scrambling, the forward's instinctive chopped finish redirected the ball into the empty net. Watch it below.
