Mohamed Salah has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for November after helping Liverpool to three consecutive wins in the top flight.
Salah scored or assisted five of Liverpool's seven goals last month and helped the Reds to victories over Brighton, Aston Villa and Southampton.
His brace against Russell Martin's side saw him score his 100th goal for Liverpool away from Anfield in all competitions.
The Egyptian wins the award for the first time since October 2023 and has now claimed the prize six times, with the most by a Liverpool player, tied with Steven Gerrard.
He is also one step away from equaling Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero, who have won the award more times than anyone in Premier League history (seven).
And Salah has continued his good form in December, scoring three goals and providing a further two assists in their matches against Newcastle United and Manchester City.
Three of those goals have come against the Magpies, meaning he has both scored and assisted in 37 different Premier League games, overtaking Wayne Rooney (36) as the player to do so most often in the competition.
Salah has also now scored in each of his last seven Premier League matches, with the Egyptian becoming only the third player to score two separate runs of more than seven consecutive games in a row in the competition, joining Jamie Vardy and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

And it was a double first for Liverpool with the Premier League trophies, with Arne Slot named Manager of the Month as his good start on Merseyside continued.
Slot's Liverpool were the only team to win all their Premier League games in November, with the Dutchman topping the three-man shortlist, which also included Fabian Hurzeler and Gary O'Neil.
He is only the fourth Dutch manager to win the award, after Martin Jol, Ronald Koeman and Erik ten Hag.
