Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been named Premier League player of the month for February after another stunning month for the Reds.

Salah fired four goals and also registered two assists in three games for Jurgen Klopp's side, as his displays helped them claim two wins and a draw from their matches.

He beat off competition from Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Mousa Dembele (Tottenham), Pascal Gross (Brighton & Hove Albion), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Glenn Murray (Brighton) and Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke City) in a public vote to land the award.

Salah, who leads Liverpool into action against bitter rivals Manchester United on Saturday, has scored 32 goals for the club since his arrival from Roma last summer.

It is the second time this season that he has been named player of the month, having also landed the award back in November.

“It’s nice to win it again for the second time," said the Liverpool star.

“That’s something good, but in the end I say I always try to help us to reach the three points and be in a better position, that’s the most important thing.

"But it’s something individual, this award, and it’s nice to win it again.”

The award is just the latest honour to be bestowed on the Egyptian star this season.

Such has been his impression at Anfield, Salah has taken Liverpool's own player of the month award FIVE times already.

And former Kop skipper Steven Gerrard claimed earlier this week that Salah may be the greatest African player to have graced the Premier League.

"It's a tough one," Gerrard said when asked on BT Sport. "[But] yes, probably.

"I think you have to wait to see how he finishes the season, but if he continues to get goals and set a record, then you have to say yes."

Liverpool sit third in the Premier League at present, and head to second-place United for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff just two points behind Jose Mourinho's men.

Salah believes however that his side have the ability to overturn that deficit come full-time.

“It’s a special game," said Salah. "Second and third play against each other so everyone plays for the three points.

“We have confidence we can play like it’s a normal game. It’s important of course but in the end our target is just one target: we need to win the game and come back with the three points.”

Victor Wanyama took the goal of the month award for his stunning strike at Anfield in the 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Spurs on February 4.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton took the manager of the month award, after leading Brighton to seven points from their three games, with wins over West Ham and Swansea, plus an away draw at Stoke.
