Mo Salah sets SIX records in Liverpool vs Man City as Arne Slot’s side go 11 points clear of Arsenal

Salah, 32, was up to his usual tricks and put Liverpool ahead on 14 minutes when his left-footed shot was deflected beyond Ederson by Nathan Ake.

Then, on the 37th minute, he provided the assist for Dominik Szoboszlai’s strike, which handed the Premier League leaders a two-goal lead.

And Curtis Jones thought he added a third in the 59th minute only to see his goal overturned as Szoboszlai, 24, was adjudged to have been offside in the build-up.

Salah was named as Player of the Match by Gary Neville, who was commentating at the Etihad and the Egyptian’s quality was there for all to see.

After the match, Salah gave his thoughts to Sky Sports when he and teammate Szoboszlai were interviewed.

“It is incredible [to win at Man City],” said Salah.

“It is a very hard place to come and play here. They are a tough team and they have an incredible manager I am glad in the end we won the game. It is special.

“Especially when you are in the title race, it is incredible.

“Hopefully we keep calm because sometimes the pressure gets to us. We try to win each game.”

And if you need any further confirmation of Salah’s contribution, according to Squawka, he set six records during the victory over Man City.
