Mohamed Salah became the first player to register a goal and an assist in eight different Premier League matches in a single season as Liverpool surged eight points clear at the top of the table with a dominant 5-0 victory at West Ham United.
Salah now has 23 assists in all competitions in 2024, the most by any Liverpool player in a single calendar year in the Premier League era.
"If you look at Mo (Salah) and his numbers, you can't argue that (he's the best player in the world) There are a lot of players out there with a lot of quality, but he is up there. He's in a very good place, let's hope he can stay like this for a long time," Liverpool manager Arne Slot said.
Luis Diaz put Liverpool in front before Salah teed up Gakpo to strike and then swept in the third of the evening himself.
