Salah came off the bench and found the back of the net in the 88th minute to secure Liverpool's comeback victory.
LASK took the lead in the 14th minute courtesy of a thunderous strike by Florian Flecker.
The lead lasted until the 56th minute when continuous pressure by the Reds resulted in a penalty decision that went their way. Darwin Nunez stepped up and converted it to put his side back on level terms.
Luis Diaz then put his side in the lead when he got on the end of an accurate ball that was sent in to the box by new signing Ryan Gravenberch.
