Mohamed Salah became Liverpool’s all-time top scorer in the Champions League as they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Denmark’s Midtjylland on Wednesday having already secured top spot in Group D.

Salah put the Premier League champions ahead in the first minute, latching on to a poor back-pass and bursting goal-wards before slipping the ball past goalkeeper Jesper Hansen.

The goal was Salah’s 22nd in the Champions League, making him the club’s record scorer in the competition.

The Danes drew level in the 62nd minute through an Alexander Scholz penalty after Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher brought down Anders Dreyer.

The linesman had initially flagged for offside, but that decision was overturned by VAR.

Scholz had an effort ruled out for offside in the 77th minute, while Liverpool’s Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino also had the ball in the net. But the goal was not awarded following a VAR review.

In Amsterdam, a late goal from Luis Muriel earned Atalanta a 1-0 win versus 10-man Ajax and sent the Italian side into the knockout stages.
