Mo Salah got himself on the scoresheet once again against Ajax but it was his efforts getting back to defend that also caught the eye.

By the time that the former Tottenham man had met the edge of our box though, our No.11 had displayed some of his famed electric pace and managed to get in front of Mohammed Kudus – distracting him enough for the ball to be turned away.

You can watch Salah tracking back against Ajax (from 3:10) via BT Sport on YouTube:
