Roberto Firmino and Andrew Robertson almost fell over after one particularly neat drag back. 

And even with defenders closing in around him in a tight area, the Premier League's top scorer looked completely at ease as he found a way to wriggle free. 

The 25-year-old continued in the same vein when the match against the Hornets kicked off. 

Salah scored four and provided an assist as his team-mates who were on the receiving end of his skill before the game, benefitted from it in front of a delighted packed house at Anfield.

After the game, tunnel-cam continued to trace the rapid winger's movements off the pitch as he walked down the tunnel with the match ball. 

He then conducted the obligatory post-match interviews and was shepherded  around by Liverpool staff. 

Another fascinating insight the footage provided was the sportsmanship of Watford captain Troy Deeney.

The striker stayed behined at the end of the game in tunnel entrance to shake the hand of every Liverpool players. 

His graciousness in the wake of a heavy defeat didn't go unnoticed by Jurgen Klopp. 

The German said: 'He was waiting for all the players when we came in. He was waiting and clapped hands with all of them.

'I didn't know about that but he was really waiting, even for me.'
