Hosts Russia continue goal spree despite return of Egypt's Salah

SAINT PETERSBURG - World Cup hosts Russia continued spectacular performances on Tuesday in their second World Cup group match with an impressive 3-1 over Egypt although Mohamed Salah returned to the pitch and worked really hard.

Russia now stand top of Group A on six points while Uruguay and Saudi Arabia take on each on Wednesday in the other Group A second round match.

The first goal came two minutes after beginning of the second half, when Russian Roman Zobnin's off-target shot was met by Egyptian captain Ahmed Fathi. The latter, disrupted by Artem Dzyuba, turned the ball backward into his own gate.
