Salah Named Liverpool's Player of the Month for December

Egyptian star Mohamed Salah claimed on Saturday the Standard Chartered Player of the Month award for December.

The forward had gone into a race with Brazil duo Fabinho and Roberto Firmino to clinch the accolade for the first time in 2020-21.

Salah netted six times in eight appearances during December, maintaining his position as Liverpool’s top goalscorer so far this term.

He started the month by scoring against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield before nudging in the opener versus FC Midtjylland in Denmark a few days later.

Mo Salah then blasted in a penalty to secure a point in a draw at Fulham prior to breaking the deadlock in the top-of-the-table clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

"And Salah came off the bench to fire twice in the 7-0 rout of Crystal Palace, the second of which was a stunning curling effort from the edge of the area," Liverpool's official website reported.
