Substitute Mohamed Salah grabbed the fastest hat-trick in Champions League history as Liverpool thrashed Rangers 7-1 on Wednesday.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had cantered to a 2-0 win over a tentative Rangers side at Anfield last week but there was initially more fight this time and the Light Blues took the lead in the 17th minute with a Scott Arfield drive.
Last season’s finalists responded seven minutes later when Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino headed in from a corner before grabbing a second in the 55th minute as the visitors’ superior quality came to the fore.
Striker Darwin Nunez added a third with a fine finish in the 66th minute before Salah grabbed three goals in six minutes and 12 seconds with Harvey Elliott notching as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side crumbled.
