Many players accomplish the comparatively simple task of notching double figures but fail to turn up when their teams need them most. Mohamed Salah has already surpassed the 20-goal mark in the Premier League and has not shied away from big occasions.
With the permission of Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah is the standout star of the Premier League this season. A brace against Liverpool's Champions League-chasing rivals Tottenham not only meant his 20th and 21st league goals this term, but also highlighted his big-game prowess.
The Egyptian has managed superbly against against more demanding opposition. In fact, he has scored more goals than the entire squads of Chelsea (6) and Manchester United (5) have managed against the so-called Big Six.
His double against Tottenham saw him become the fastest Liverpool player to score 20 goals in the Premier League, while also taking his total tally against the other Big Six sides up to seven this season.
Liverpool rightly sit above Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal in third place on the table, with Salah silencing his detractors after a £39million switch from Roma in the summer. 28 goals and nine assists to his name in 34 appearances across all competitions make him one of the signings of the season.
