LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Mohamed Salah continued his rehabilitation at Liverpool by scoring for the team for the first time since the start of November in a 6-0 thrashing of Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Mohamed Salah has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations only to stumble into a piece of unwanted history at Anfield. The Egyptian forward started in Liverpool's shock defeat to Bournemouth, a result that means he has now been on the losing side in seven of his last eight Premier League starts - equalling a dismal record set by Dirk Kuyt during the club's struggles in 2012.

Gary McAllister believes Mohamed Salah is suffering from a "year of inconsistency" at Anfield, pinpointing the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold as the primary cause for the Egyptian's dip in form.

The 28-year-old sits among the pantheon of football's modern elite players, and given that he's entered his prime over the past year, technically and physically, Liverpool could hit the jackpot by bringing him over to star in Salah's stead.
