Mohamed Salah's ideal start to life with Trabzonspor is continuing, as the former Liverpool star has made yet another impact for his new side.
The 34-year-old is still settling into his time away from Anfield, with the surprising decision to leave the club a year before the end of his contract still taking some adjustment.
After nine years of lighting up the stage with Liverpool, it was hard to imagine the forward doing anything other than wearing a red jersey and making an impact week in, week out for the side.
However, after a frustrating campaign last time out, a mutual agreement was reached for the termination of his contract this summer, which could allow both the player and the club to move on in separate directions.
While Liverpool landed Bradley Barcola as a potential heir to the Egyptian King's throne, Salah himself was not short of options elsewhere this summer.
Eventually, the experienced star chose the Turkish Super Lig, joining Trabzonspor as a high-profile signing for the club with the hope that he could help elevate them to a whole new level this season and beyond.
There has been a rocky start to the season for the club itself, crashing out of the Europa League and into the Europa Conference League through the qualifiers, while there has also been a change of head coach in the process.
However, Salah has certainly got off to a good start personally, bagging three goals in his first three appearances in the league, before his attention turned towards a clash with Genclerbirligi over the weekend.

Any frustrations from a slow start for the side overall were seemingly taken out in the game, which ended in a 5-0 win for Trabzonspor, which included a goal and an assist for Salah in another impressive display for the former Liverpool man.
It wasn't an insignificant contribution either, as the winger became the first foreign player in 25 years to score four goals in his first three starts for the club, showing the impact he is having.
Salah and his teammates will certainly be hoping that is a win that can kickstart the season, which has seen the side now pick up two wins, one draw, and one defeat from the opening four matches of the campaign.
There are tough encounters on the way, however, with the next month or so bringing about a clash with Galatasaray and Besiktas, offering two real tests of any league title credentials the side may have.
There's also a return to Europe, as Salah looks to compete in the Europa Conference League for the first time in his career, with another trophy in his sights.
