Another week, another world-class performance from the Egyptian King. Many have criticized and questioned his ability and skills, but he proved his critics wrong today with an exceptional performance capped by 2 goals and an assist.

Salah was all over the Huddersfield defence creating problems with his dribbling on the right flank or running into the gaps through the back four. His movement was causing a lot of damage to the opposition defence who wasn't quite able to handle him. He helped Naby Keita get his goal in the first 15 seconds by passing the ball into the midfielder's path who slotted home the goal.

Salah scored his first goal and Liverpool's third in stoppage time of the first half. A Trent Alexander Arnold long ball through the centre of the field tore apart Huddersfield's defence whose defenders were out of positions. The ball bounced in front of Salah who managed to dink it over the rushing goalkeeper, making it look very simple. The finish was exquisite and was applauded greatly by the fans and critics.

Salah's 2nd and Liverpool's 5th came in the 83rd minute when he tapped-in a perfectly crossed ball by Robertson in a mellow style. This was Salah's 21st goal of this season due to which he's first amongst the goal scorers in the league this season.

Many fans were critical of Salah's performance this season but an overview surely clears all the doubts, he is still one of the very best in the league and even in the world.
