Mo Salah: The gift the keeps on giving

What a signing this man has been. Unbelievable. Unstoppable. Unrelenting.

Mohamed Salah has stunned us time and again this season, and he did it last night as well. The Egyptian was rested for Liverpool's previous Premier League encounter - the Merseyside Derby against Everton, but returned to the playing eleven yesterday, and did so with a bang.

In the second half, Excellent positioning and vision allowed Salah to make a darting run behind the defence to head home Trent Alexander-Arnold's exquisite long-ball, giving Liverpool their 2nd goal of the night, and his 40th of the season.

While that was undeniably his highlight of the game, that wasn't all he had to provide. As usual, Salah was his electrifying self, making 3 successful dribbles and taking 6 shots. All-in-all, he ensured that he was a nuisance for the Bournemouth defence, who simply couldn't match up to the fiery Reds' attack.

Most players dream to be on level terms with the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Most players crave to be mentioned in the same breath as those two legends. Even if it's just for a heartbeat.

Not Mo Salah, though. The Egyptian has had a taste of glory, of what it's like to surpass Messi and Ronaldo, and he sure looks like he wants to finish the season that way.

Mohamed Salah isn't something Liverpool got right in just this game. He's the biggest thing they've got right this season, and perhaps, for the years to come.
