Salah gave Liverpool the lead half way through the first-half when Firmino’s shot was palmed in his direction by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
He appeared to be in an offside position when the Brazilian shot, however his calm finish in to the back of the net was allowed to stand.
The Reds dominated possession for the rest of the half as they looked for a second goal, however they entered the break 1-0 up.
The Reds now have 42 points from 16 Premier League games, having won their last five on the trot and conceding just six goals all season.
They lie in wait of Manchester City’s result later in the day, before then turning their attention to Tuesday’s huge fixture at Anfield against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
