Mans really hot right now!

All eyes were on the Mohamed Salah as he single-handedly obliterated the Hornets in Saturday’s Matchday 31 encounter at Anfield. The Egyptian forward set the ball rolling for the rampage to begin by scoring after just four minutes into the game.

The 25-year-old forward subsequently doubled his tally by tapping home a cross by Robertson with two minutes left to be played in the first-half. With Roberto Firmino scoring the Reds’ third goal of the game, Salah kept it late to bag his third and fourth and emphatically sealed the 5-0 victory for the hosts.

Highlighted below are some facts and milestones surrounding the demolishing job orchestrated by the former AS Roma and Chelsea winger:
