by

Mohamed Salah has announced his arrival at Trabzonspor in style. The Egyptian forward, who switched to the Turkish club from Liverpool FC this summer, made an immediate impact in his second appearance for Trabzonspor. Appearing in the second-round match of the Turkish Super Lig against Istanbul Basaksehir FK, Salah found the net only eight minutes into the game, scoring his first goal in Trabzonspor colours. He completed his brace early in the second half.

The Liverpool legend left the Premier League as a free agent, drawing the curtains on a glorious spell that saw him become both the English and European champion as part of the Reds.

Mohamed Salah’s First Goal For Trabzonspor

Mohamed Salah made his Trabzonspor debut in the Turkish Super Lig opener, coming on as a second-half substitute. He created some promising chances and could not score in his first match. However, he responded early against Istanbul Basaksehir FK.

Salah was inside the box when the opposition goalkeeper made an error while collecting the ball. The Egyptian icon took advantage of the situation and struck from close range to register his first goal for Trabzonspor, sending fans into a frenzy. The VAR double-checked his strike before confirming it.
