Former Newcastle forward Alan Shearer believes Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been the Premier League's player of the season so far.
The England midfielder was imperious as the Reds defeated Southampton 4-0 at Anfield on Saturday.
Henderson scored Liverpool's second and later provided the assist for Mohamed Salah who made it 3-0 with 19 minutes left to play.
Speaking on Match of the Day, Shearer marvelled at Henderson's overall performance in the win which took Liverpool 22 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

The pundit said: "Jordan Henderson again. I believe if the season was to end tomorrow, he would be my player of the season. There is absolutely no doubt about it.
"He was magnificent again today. The way he drove Liverpool forward and kept everything moving was great.
"He was the furthest forward for his goal. He came back in and it was a wonderful touch before he lifted it over the defender. He has been magnificent all season.
"What a season he is having. Absolutely incredible. He has been the driving force for Liverpool and has been superb."
