Sunday’s clash appeared destined to end in frustration and just a single point for the Reds, despite a dominant second-half display following a sluggish opening period.
Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Federico Chiesa all went close to breaking the deadlock before yet more late drama unfolded.
In stoppage time, Hannibal Mejbri was penalised for handling Jeremie Frimpong’s cross, and Salah stepped up to fire home from the spot, maintaining the champions’ perfect start to their title defence.
“It’s a tough opponent today,” Salah told Sky Sports after the game.
“We tried our best to play the ball between the lines, but it’s tough to win.
We just try to push ourselves and our team to the limit.”
Mohamed Salah has now become Liverpool FC’s all-time top penalty scorer in league football.
His 35th successful league penalty for the club moved him past Billy Liddell’s previous record of 34.
Overall, Salah has scored 45 penalties since joining the Reds, with only Steven Gerrard, who has 47, remaining ahead of him on the club’s all-time spot-kick list.
