A sleepy match snapped to life off the boot of Salah, who scored a trademark goal by dragging a shot across goal and inside the far post.
Joe Gomez picked out Xherdan Shaqiri, who played Salah down the right side for a finish beyond the reach of Jonas Lossl.
And that got Huddersfield moving, and the match moved up-and-down the pitch in fitting David Wagner vs. Jurgen Klopp fashion.
Jonathan Hogg hit the bar with a shot, and Phillip Billing nearly whipped a deep free kick on target, though Alisson Becker may’ve had his post covered well anyway.
Michael Oliver somehow resisted shouts for a seemingly clear handball on James Milner.
The first half stated without much danger, but Laurent Depoitre headed a ball for Alisson to save in the 55th.
The Terriers were actually pretty wasteful, with Steve Mounie missing a point blank chance in the 82nd.
Salah forced a save out of Lossl following a slick turn two minutes from time.
