Liverpool's win over lowly Southampton took them eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League title race. The Reds still have 26 games to go but this was a seismic three points for Slot's team, especially as they were a long way off their best. And once again, they had their talisman Salah to thank for this victory.

Since Salah swapped Roma for Liverpool in 2017, the former Chelsea man has scored a whopping 221 goals and bagged 99 assists in 366 appearances for the Merseyside outfit. The winger may add quite a few more goals and assists before the season is over, too.
