The contest between AC Milan and Liverpool was a rollercoaster, with Milan banging in two goals within two minutes to equalise, and then go ahead in the game right before halftime. However, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson scored two brilliant goals to get themselves back into the game and secure all three points to start the new season.
