Mohamed Salah Liverpool debut vs Watford

On August 12, 2017, Mo Salah made his Premier League debut for Liverpool but the visitors went behind after just eight minutes on the clock when Stefano Okaka scored the opening goal. Liverpool responded just before the half-hour mark through Sadio Mane. However, the Hornets grabbed the lead once again two minutes later as Abdoulaye Doucoure finished from close range. 

It wasn't until the second half that Mo Salah made his first meaningful contribution for Liverpool as he earned a penalty after being fouled by goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes. Roberto Firmino converted from the resulting spot-kick to make it 2-2. In the 57th minute of the game, Mohamed Salah scored his first Premier League goal for Liverpool. A long ball played over the top found Roberto Firmino, who in turn, looked to scoop the ball over Gomes. The effort appeared to be going wide but Salah followed the ball to ensure that it ended up in the net. It seemed like Salah's goal would be the winner for Liverpool but Watford made it 3-3 in the third minute of added time to salvage a point.
