Watch: Mohamed Salah Goal Gives Liverpool Early Lead Against Ajax | Champions League

Liverpool has started brightly in tonight's Champions League tie against Ajax and has got their reward. 

The Reds have dominated the ball for the most part, despite the away side showing threat on the break. 

A few free kicks in the opponent's half have set up decent chances for Jurgen Klopp's men, but nothing has come of it.

However, Liverpool did make one count as Luis Diaz heads a long ball onto Diogo Jota, who sees an unmarked Mohamed Salah.

The last person on the field Ajax want on the ball in space and he punished them for it, The Egyptian King slides it past the keeper to put The Reds 1-0 up.
