Liverpool eased past Sheffield United 2-0 to cement their place at the top of the league. Here are three things we learned from Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian scored the first and assisted the second as the Reds completed a fairly routine win as they extended their Premier League lead.

Mohamed Salah hasn’t been in outstanding form this season but has now taken his goal tally to double figures as the quality we all know he has started to shine across the complete performance.

Injuries and rotation have robbed the former Roma man of the clinical edge we’ve all become used to, while increased knowledge of his game have allowed opponents to nullify the attributes that lead Salah to that incredible first season at the club.

Everton are up on Sunday in the FA Cup but you can assume Jurgen Klopp will rest the first team regulars for that clash as the German looks to protect tired limbs from injury as we enter the final half of the 2019/2020 season.
