Mohamed Salah wows Jermaine Jenas with Liverpool goal "better" than Man City effort

Mohamed Salah may have more than one contender to put forward for October's goal of the month award after today's stunner against Watford.

Before the international break, Salah was a sight for sore eyes as he danced and jinked his way past several Man City defenders before finishing to the net in superb style.

And as the action resumed today, Salah carried on in the exact same fashion and arguably outdid his Man City effort with a gorgeous solo goal against a bamboozled Watford.

Salah displayed stunning close control to leave several defenders on the floor before curling another magnificent finish into the bottom corner.

The goal left Jermaine Jenas purring on co-commentary on BT Sport - and he claimed the strike was even better than his eye-catching effort against Manchester City.

"Oh.. my… word," Jenas exclaimed as the ball hit the net.

"It was only in his last game against City he scored one of the goals of the season but this better’s it.

"Look at the feet, oh my word. See you later, chucks a couple on the floor and sends it into the top corner.

"This fella is in the form of his life right now. The confidence he is playing, that is incredible.

"He’s taken it round the whole team like they weren’t even there, the finish is sublime he knows once he gets his angle that’s the moment.

"That little roll with the studs, it’s a beautiful thing.

"Cathcart was up here with us after that chop it was beautiful. He’s giving it a go, at least he is, but he’s going to be apart of the highlight reel, it was beautiful."

Liverpool took just eight minutes to open the scoring at Vicarage Road with a perfect pass from Salah setting free Sadio Mane to score.

The Reds were already 3-0 up via two Roberto Firmino goals by the time Salah stole the headlines with his latest moment of magic.

Whilst the TV microphones picked up Jenas' disbelief, he wasn't the only one left in awe watching the latest addition to Salah's highlight reel.
