LIVERPOOL — Mohamed
Salah has been named the Premier League's Player of the Month for November
after the Egyptian helped the side navigate through difficult fixtures.
This is the sixth time the Egyptian has been named Premier
League Player of the Month (also in November 2017, February 2018, March 2018,
October 2021 and October 2023). Salah has won the award for the first time
since October 2023 is now level with Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and former
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo. He is one away from equalling Harry
Kane and Sergio Aguero, who have won the award more times than anyone else in
Premier League history.
Liverpool's No.11 has claimed the accolade after a stellar
run in which he helped the Reds to three top-flight wins. Salah scored four
goals and recorded an assist in November's fixtures as Arne Slot's men opened
up an advantage at the top of the league standings.
He first struck a winner against Brighton & Hove
Albion in a 2-1 victory at Anfield, before a clinching strike in the 2-0 win
over Aston Villa – where he also assisted Darwin Nunez's opening goal.
Salah then proved decisive in the Reds' 3-2 comeback success
at Southampton to close out the month, with a vital brace to help claim three
points on the south coast.
Salah topped an eight-man shortlist which included Matheus
Cunha (Wolves), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool), Martin
Odegaard (Arsenal), Joao Pedro (Brighton), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and Yoane
Wissa (Brentford).
He has already started December with three goals and two
assists in two matches, a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United and a 2-0 win against
Manchester City, is next in action when Liverpool host Fulham on Saturday.
