UEFA Champions League 2022-23: Mohamed Salah’s Hat-Trick Helps Liverpool Rout Rangers – In Pics

Mohamed Salah came off the bench to score the fastest-ever hat-trick in UEFA Champions League history as Liverpool routed Rangers 7-1 at Ibrox on Wednesday. The Egyptian came on in the second half with his team leading 3-1 and proceeded to fire a stunning treble in just six minutes, 12 seconds to set a new benchmark in the competition. Bafétimbi Gomis previously held the record from 2011 when he took eight minutes to complete his hat trick in a 7-1 win for Lyon against Dinamo Zagreb. It had been a night when Roberto Firmino had looked like being the hero — scoring twice and setting up another for Darwin Nunez after Rangers had gone ahead in the first half. But Salah ensured he would dominate the headlines with three wonderfully taken goals.
