Twitter goes wild after Salah's thunderbolt against Chelsea
There's a new contender for Premier League goal of the season.
Mohamed Salah threw his hat into the ring on Sunday when he unleashed a rocket that flew beyond the outstretched arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga at Anfield.
The vicious left-footed strike, which gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead in their crucial encounter against the Blues, sent the football world into a frenzy.
