Mohamed Salah’s third magnificent goal against Watford was voted Liverpool’s Goal of the Month for March by the club’s fans.

Salah scored a super-hattrick against Watford, the first time for the Egyptian to ever fire four in the same game. He also took the next three places in the list, with his first and second goals against Watford and another goal he scored in the Reds’ victory over Newcastle United.

The third goal was a translation of brilliant work as Mane attacked from the right side, before finding Salah in the box who dribbled past Watford defenders before tapping in the bottom left corner.

The young Pharaoh is arguably having the best season of his professional career with Liverpool as he already scored 38 goals and 9 assists in all competitions.

He is now leading the golden boot race four goals ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, who has been the top goal scorer of the last two campaigns in the English Premier League.

Egypt international and Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has revealed his delight following his side’s qualification for the Champions League semi-finals.

The Egyptian played the full 90 minutes and scored an early second-half goal which killed the tie, before Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool’s second of the game to secure a memorable win at the Etihad Stadium.

The Egypt international has been phenomenal for Liverpool, scoring 39 goals and providing 13 assists in only 44 games across all competitions.

He is currently leading the Premier League Golden Boot race and is tying with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in the race for Europe’s Golden Shoe.

“I think the [his] goal was at a good time for us because they were pressing very high and had many chances, so in the beginning we struggled a little bit because they scored in the first two minutes,” Salah told BT Sport.

“After that we came back, we played hard and we got the result – that’s the most important thing,” he added.

With his goal against Manchester City, Salah became the first Premier League player to be directly involved in fifty goals across all competitions this season.

“I’ve changed my position many times, but in the end we play as a team. We play as 11 players and everyone gives 100 per cent, so we are happy about the result,” Salah continued.

“I’ve said many times that I play for the team and I try to score each game to try to help the team to win the games. That’s the most important thing for me.”

Liverpool secured a place in the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 10 years, when they knocked out Arsenal 5-3 on aggregate, before losing 4-3 to Chelsea in the semis.

Salah will be hoping to become the only second Arab to lift the Champions League title after Algeria’s Rabah Madjer, who won it with FC Porto against Bayern Munich in 1987.
