Every striker has scored memorable goals in their career and every striker has missed a sitter or two. Just ask Egypt talisman Mo Salah as he did both in the spac eof a matter of minutes against Saudi Arabia on Monday.

Coming off the back of a prolific season, the Liverpool hot shot showed that he hasn't lost any of his sharpness after recovering from that shoulder injury as he opened the scoring against the Saudis.

Latching on to a long ball, the 26-year-old successfully held off a defender before waiting for the goalkeeper to rush off his line and nonchalantly dinking the ball over his head and into the back of the net.

It was a fine goal from the Liverpool man and one that ensures he will go home with good memories of the tournament despite his country's early exit.
