Mo Salah got himself to 33 goal involvements in all competitions for the season with a two goal, two assist display against Tottenham this afternoon.
He also became the first Premier League player to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas and he did it without really looking like he left second gear. He spent the first half probing but ultimately being wasteful, hitting the bar with his best effort.

CONFIRMED: Why Federico Chiesa is MISSING from Liverpool's squad to face Tottenham
Federico Chiesa has had a tough time at Anfield since joining the Reds during the summer, and has failed to make yet another squad for today’s Premier League game against Tottenham.
Since joining the club, Chiesa has had an ongoing injury problem which has ruled him out of most of the season so far.
However, his absence from today’s squad doesn’t seem to be down to injury, but rather a selection choice from Slot, who has included impressive teenager Trey Nyoni instead.

And I'm talking about someone who is unequivocally and by all numbers considered quite simply without a shadow of a doubt the world's best player. Not someone we as fans consider the best.
Those years have been long and hard but now there's a player who is at the top of the game and who is desperate to play for Liverpool.

Liverpool are set to lose Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer at the end of the season, but his teammate Diogo Jota has hinted that there could be another twist in this transfer saga.
Real Madrid are still circling, with a move to the Spanish giants the most-likely outcome if Liverpool can't come to an agreement on a new deal.
Arne Slot has remained coy when speaking about contracts in press conferences, batting off questions by saying that he won't speak in public about contract matters, but Alexander-Arnold's teammates are now dropping some hints that he could be set to stay.
