The Liverpool No.11 marked his first appearance in a Merseyside derby with a sensational spin and curled finish into the top corner despite the snowy conditions.
Salah himself named the strike as one of his favourites of 44 scored in his debut campaign – and the effort was one of 10 nominated for the Puskas Award on Monday.
The winner will be decided by an online poll of fans at FIFA.com and announced at a ceremony in London on Monday September 24.
