Salah instantly compares latest Liverpool wonder goal to strike against Man City

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah scored his seventh - and best - goal of the season thus far in the Reds demolition of newly-promoted Watford.

The Egyptian is arguably the best player on the planet currently and has now found the back of the net for the sixth successive game.

Liverpool were at their rampant best during Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge of Watford - putting five past the Hornets with no reply.

Salah's goal sparked wild celebrations tinged with slack-jawed amazement from teammates and fans alike, who could barely believe the genius they had just witnessed.

Liverpool's fourth of the afternoon saw the ball seemingly glued to the feet of the Reds forward.

A deft ball-roll inside the Watford area was followed by a stunning cut-back that left Craig Cathcart beaten all ends up before curling a left-footed effort beyond Ben Foster - who was rooted to the spot.

Following the full-time whistle, Salah was typically humble when pressed on the quality of his effort.

"All goals were very important, Bobby [Firmino] did a great job today scored a hat-trick, congratulations to him, Sadio scored a good goal, all the goals were very important," Liverpool's star man explained.

Salah's goal comes the game after his last wonder-strike - a similar solo effort against title rivals Manchester City during the 2-2 draw at Anfield.

The Egyptian was asked where his latest goal ranks among his best, and instantly compared today's strike to his effort against City.

"Last game maybe," he responded, when asked if he has ever scored a better goal. "I don't know which one was better, this one or City!

"Every time I'm in the box I try to give someone the ball to score or to score myself so it's always about the team.

"The most important thing today is we scored good goals, everyone up front scored. Hopefully we can carry on like that."

Fans and pundits alike have been left salivating over the recent form of Salah, but the Reds number 11 is unsure as to whether this is him operating at the peak of his powers.

"I don't know I'm just trying. Sometimes I don't have luck, I'm just trying to give 100 percent of what I have, sometimes, sometimes not.

"I am confident at the moment, I'm scoring goals helping team win points which is the most important thing."

Salah's display earned the praise of his manager, Jurgen Klopp claiming there is nobody better than his forward at the moment.

Asked where Salah ranks among the European elite, Klopp said: "Top, come on, we all see it, who's better than him in this moment? That's clear, there's always this discussion and all these kinds of things.

"But we don't have to talk about what Ronaldo and Messi did for world football or how long they were really in the dominant but in the moment I think it's clear there's nobody better than him."
