Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah continued his incredible run of form as the Egyptian netted a brace and provided an assist in the Reds' 6-0 demolition of Leeds United in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Liverpool fans were extremely impressed with their team's performance, especially Salah's display at Anfield. Fans took to social media platforms to react to the match as many called the Egyptian the best player in the world right now.

The 29-year-old is arguably the best player in Europe's top five leagues right now. This season, Salah has scored 27 goals from 31 appearances in all competitions and has also managed to assist 10 goals in the Premier League.

Liverpool fans were in for a treat when their club took on a floundering Leeds United at Anfield in the midweek. The Reds completely thrashed the Peacocks as they won the match 6-0. Mohamed Salah was once again the star performer of the night. He scored two goals from the penalty spot. Salah also provided an assist for his team's third goal, scored by Joel Matip.

Sadio Mane also scored a brace, while Virgil van Dijn bagged the sixth goal in the 93rd minute.

Fans were extremely impressed with the Egyptian's performance and praised him on social media platforms. Here are some of the best reactions.

The Egyptian is currently the second-highest assist provider in PL this season. Salah is also the PL's top goal scorer with 19 goals so far this season for Jurgen Klopp's men. Thanks to Salah's exceptional form, the Reds are still very much in the PL title race as the gap between Manchester City and the Reds is just three points.

Liverpool's victory against Leeds United was their 18th victory in the Premier League this season. Before the midweek game, Manchester City had a lead of six points over the Reds.

However, City's loss to Tottenham Hotspur and the Reds' recent win over Leeds has reduced the gap between the two teams in the race to win the PL title. City currently sit at the top of the points table with 63 points.

The upcoming weeks will be crucial for both clubs as they navigate some tough and tricky fixtures in the Premier League. Liverpool will host West Ham next in the Premier League, before facing Brighton & Hove Albion away. Manchester City face Everton this weekend before hosting Manchester United on 6 March.
