The Reds had won just four of their first 11 games of the season and fell behind for the eighth time this campaign when Scott Arfield fired the Glasgow giants into an early lead. Roberto Firmino’s double either side of half-time turned the game around before the Brazilian teed up Darwin Nunez to kill off the contest.
Klopp had left Salah, Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota on the bench with an eye on Sunday’s EPL clash against Manchester City. But they were brought on in the final quarter and Salah flourished. The Egyptian’s treble arrived in just six minutes and 12 seconds to beat the previous record held by Bafetimbi Gomis in Lyon’s 7-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in 2011. “It changes the mood definitely, and that’s good,” said Klopp.
