(CNN) Mohamed Salah was in fine form as Liverpool went top of the English Premier League table with an emphatic 5-0 victory over already relegated Huddersfield on Friday, keeping up the pressure on title rival Manchester City which has played a game less.

The "Egyptian King," fresh from attending the Time 100 Gala in New York earlier this week, set up Naby Keita to open the scoring after just 15 seconds before finding the net himself on the stroke of halftime.

Sadio Mane grabbed himself a brace, scoring either side of Salah's first strike with two expertly placed headers.

And Salah rounded off the scoring when he turned home Andy Robertson's cutback in the 82nd minute to secure a 10th straight victory for Liverpool in all competitions.

Salah's second strike was his 21st of the season in the Premier League, taking him to the top of the scoring charts, one ahead of teammate Mane and two ahead of City's Sergio Aguero.
