That's double figures for the season for Salah. Relief tangible around Anfield.

End of 1st Half
45+1'
HT: Liverpool 0-0 Maribor. The Reds have dominated but the visitors have been a much tougher nut to crack so far tonight. Plenty for Klopp and his team to mull over during the interval.
45'
One minute added.
44'
Frustration for Liverpool so far tonight.

43'
Maribor's only CL win came away from home with a 1-0 success at Dynamo Kyiv on their debut in September 1999. Their away record since reads D2 L4 (via UEFA).
42'
Milner plays a smart ball into the left of the area, but Handanovic is out well to smother in front of the chasing Firmino.
41'
A goal before half time would be most welcome for Klopp and Co.
40'
It was 4-0 at this point in Maribor. A very different story so far tonight.
38'
Deja vu as Firmino meets a Milner corner... but once more his header is wide of target.
36'
Firmino nods a tame header wide from Milner's right-wing corner. The Brazilian is fuming with himself as it was pretty much a free one from eight yards out.
35'
Liverpool firing in crosses from both flanks, but the visitors are repelling them and their confidence has grown as the clock ticks towards the interval.
34'
GROUP E as it stands: Sevilla 7pts, Liverpool 6pts, Spartak 5pts, Maribor 1pt.
33'
Another fizzing cross hits Salah again... and once again he can't react in time to make anything of it.
32'
Alexander Arnold swings another quality ball into the middle, but Can can't back pedal enough and heads well over.
31'
Elsewhere in this pool: Sevilla 1-0 Spartak.
30'
SAVE! Firmino guides a header onto a defender's leg that loops towards the top corner before a super intervention by the fingertips of Handanovic.
29'
Not great defending from Maribor, but they survive once more as the Ox's 25-yard drive ricochets to safety.
28'
An audacious back heel from Milec to clear on the wing. His teammates aren't quite as sharp and Firmino wins a free kick on the left. Milner and Salah over it.
