Handing Mohamed Salah the Man of the Match award for his goal and assist against Manchester City, Gary Neville could only rave about the Egyptian.

Not only was the Manchester United legend impressed with the forward's goal contributions, but also his defensive qualities.

The Reds hit City with two first-half goals from Salah, a well-worked corner routine, and Dominik Szoboszlai.



In the second half Curtis Jones was denied a strike only by the offside flag, though the important fact was seeing out the result to open up an 11-point lead over Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.

Throughout the majority of the campaign, the No.11 has taken it upon himself to spearhead Liverpool's quest for a 20th English league title, evidenced by the fact that Sunday saw his 40th and 41st top-flight goal contributions recorded this season.

As he provided commentary while Salah tracked back to help Trent Alexander-Arnold defend the clean sheet in the closing stages, Neville said: "Salah’s done a lot - he’s been back there a lot, Salah.

Look where Salah is now - he’s like a holding midfield player!"

Neville then added: "I have no hesitation in naming Mo Salah Man of the Match.

A goal and an assist - I think it’s the 11th time this season he’s had a goal and an assist in a Premier League game.

"He’s a magnificent player, he’s having an absolutely golden period - a golden moment in his career where everything just feels so easy for him.

"It was a beautiful performance today.

The goal, the composure, the assist.
