#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 4 goals, 1 assist vs Watford

Just look a
Just look at the carnage

After being on the receiving end of a considerable amount of flak for disappearing against Manchester United and apparently residing inside Ashley Young's pocket for the entirety of 90 minutes, the 'Egyptian King' iterated that it was a one-off and got right back to his devastating best against a Watford side that will have nightmares for days to come.

Perhaps the second best left foot in all of Europe, Mo Salah tiptoed past 3 Watford defenders and even send one to the ground before slotting it past Orestis Karnezis to open the scoring for the Merseysiders.

He kicked on from there and tapped in from 6 yards out from an Andy Robertson's cross in the 43rd minute to provide some sort of cushion for Jurgen Klopp's men.

After teeing up Roberto Firmino for a delightful finish in the 50th minute, Mohamed Salah scored arguably the best goal of the night in the 77th minute as he led a pack of Watford defenders one way and then the other, flat footing a couple and bamboozling the rest before poking the ball to the far bottom corner past a host of bodies.

Hat-trick goals seldom come better than that. Then Salah said, 'Might as well,' in the 85th minute as he latched on to the ball inside the box after Bono parried Danny Ings' shot into his path.

Mo Salah is leading the race for the Premier League golden boot with 28 goals and now has got a 4 goal advantage on Harry Kane.

If you don't think Mo Salah is the signing of the season, we are not even going to have a conversation.
