Liverpool won away in the Champions League without Mohamed Salah for the first time since 2009

Who knows what the narrative would have been had Dominik Szoboszlai not converted from the penalty spot?

The noise surrounding Mohamed Salah would only have gotten louder. More dropped points for Liverpool without their star man.

Yet it was Liverpool's player of the season so far who took the responsibility from 12 yards out while the man who would have usually taken the penalty sat at home, almost 1000 miles away.

The sight of the players walking over to the away end and the travelling fans singing Arne Slot's name at the full-time whistle told you all you needed to know.
