The Liverpool star scored twice, created two assists and missed two penalties as Egypt thrashed Niger 6-0 at home in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
Salah saw his first-minute penalty saved but he was soon on hand to help break the deadlock on Saturday, setting up his team-mate Marwan Mohsen for the opener.

Manchester United target Jerome Boateng, The defender has reportedly told the club he wants to move from Bayern Munich
The defender opted against a move to the Premier League, while Man United were wary of his recent injury record.They were also unwilling to meet the £40million valuation of a player who missed 33 games last season through a variety of problems. I would say the odds are 50-50.'
Since joining Bayern Munich from Manchester City in 2011, Boateng has won six Bundesliga titles and the 2013 Champions League.
The 29-year-old was a also a vital part of Germany's 2014 World Cup-winning squad, and has 74 caps.
Chievo 2-3 Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo made his competitive debut, starting up front following his £100m move from Real Madrid
the 33-year-old angled his foot and cushioned a ball around Bani to Dybala before spinning and running off. Bani looked like the victim of a mugging, chasing haplessly after a Ronaldo but disorientated by the event.
Then, inexplicably, Juventus allowed all their efforts to be ruined. Chievo were gifted an equaliser just before half-time when striker Mariusz Stepinski was left alone in the area to bury a header past Wojciech Szczesny from 10 yards.
Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool, Sadio Mane made sure of the points for Jurgen Klopp's men with a lightning breakaway in stoppage time
Roberto Firmino was smothered by Palace for much of the night but on this occasion threaded the ball successfully to Salah. Sakho was trying to get the ball, but it was clumsy and always teetering on the brink of calamity. Salah was preparing to shoot but tumbled instead. Maybe he exaggerated the fall, but not the foul. Milner stepped up and, in front of a raucous home end, stuck the ball smartly past Wayne Hennessey.Sunday, 19 August 2018
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal, Marcos Alonso scoring the winner
The game seemed set. But then came the fifteen minutes that demanded a nictotine fix for Sarri. ‘If we want to defend by looking only at the ball, we need to stay very compact and we need to press in the other half. In that 15 minutes, we were not able to do this. And so we were in trouble.’ When he complained about the collapse of the defensive shape, he made it clear he didn’t mean the back four, but that midfielders and attackers had stopped pressing effectively.
And so Mkhitarayn missed just as easy a chance as Aubameyang’s on 32 minutes; Willian then lost possession on 37 minutes, Iwobi recovered it, wriggled forwards and pulled the ball back for the Armenian to try again and this time score, making it 2-1. Kepa got a hand to it and should have made it a stronger, more decisive one.
Brighton 3-2 Manchester United, Brighton with a lovely flicked finish from close range past David de Gea
United team traditionally do but this United team did not. They do not have enough fibre for that. Occasionally it can happen, as it did at Manchester City last season. But that was freakish while what we saw here was more representative of this vastly-diminished football club. Brighton began this game knowing they had beaten United narrowly on this ground back in May and while they had improved their squad since then their opponents largely had not.
So while they won last season on the back of hard work and organisation, they did so this time just by being the better team.

Cristiano Ronaldo has settled into Juventus life even better than hoped And he has already started to form a close friendship with forward Paulo Dybala
The Portuguese megastar has made an optimal impression on everyone he has met thus far, although one high-profile comedienne is allegedly less than enthused by his arrival. On Monday, fashion model Rodriguez posted a photo from the balcony demonstrating the fantastic view.
The player's mother Dolores will be returning to Portugal, as she revealed at his unveiling press conference. Naturally, the house features a gym and according to some reports an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.
