Mo Salah in all his glory

The £36.9 million spent on Mohamed Salah in the summer now looks like an absolute bargain. The Egyptian has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 13 goals in 16 appearances. He’s now become the fastest player to reach 9 Premier League goals in a Liverpool shirt, managing that feat in just 12 appearances, fewer than the previous record holder, Robbie Fowler.

In the space of 9 minutes in the first half, Salah scored a brace to all but settle the game. His first goal came in the form of a wonder strike from the right-hand side, as he cut in like an Arjen Robben in his prime, curling it past the outstretched hands of Fraser Forster.

His movement proved to be too much for the Saints, as he drifted in from the right into the centre to score his 2nd of the game. Over the course of 79 minutes, Salah scored 2 goals, completed 1 dribble, took 5 corners and created 2 chances.
