Egyptian star Mohamed Salah scored twice on Sunday as Liverpool defeated West Ham 3-1 in the Premier League.

Mo Salah had opened the scoring in 57th minute, when he created space for himself before arrowing the ball from an angle beyond Lukasz Fabianski. It came after an assist by Curtis Jones, who  just replaced James Milner.

Ten minutes later, the Egyptian star doubled his side's lead, after a superb counter-attack from a West Ham corner saw Xherdan Shaqiri delivered a wonderful pass to Mo Salah who controlled  in beautifully before flicking it past Lukasz Fabianski.

Georginio Wijnaldum netted the third for the Reds in the 84th minute to mark his 200th Premier League appearance with a goal to seal the three points.

Two minutes later, Craig Dawson scored the Hammers' only goal of the match, when Dawson was up for a corner and the defender is in the right place to steer past Alisson after the ball glanced off the head of a Liverpool defender into his path.

Mo came close to opening the scoring in the 49th minute, when Origi broke well down the left and cut the ball back across for Salah. He got there first but his effort is blocked.

In the 45th minute, the Reds wasted another chance, after a brilliant cross from Thiago and Origi managed to reach the ball first but he can't direct it goalwards from close range.
