Mohamed Salah goal: Watch Liverpool star score stunning individual effort against Watford

Jurgen Klopp said Mohamed Salah is the best player in the world after his wonder goal against Watford.

Right now, it is hard to disagree with the Liverpool manager.

Two weeks after scoring a special goal against Manchester City at Anfield, Salah was at it again with a brilliant solo effort at Vicarage Road.

Salah danced past three Watford defenders, left Craig Cathcart on his backside and then curled a wonderful effort into the far corner.

Roberto Firmino scored a hat-trick, Sadio Mane netted his 100th Premier League goal – but Salah stole the show as Liverpool won 5-0.

You can see the goal here:

“He is top,” said Klopp. “We all see it at the moment. Who is better than him?

“There is always big discussion about these kinds of things. We do not have to talk about what Ronaldo and Messi did for world football or how long they were dominant, but at the moment it is clear there is nobody better than him.”
