Salah's brace helped the Reds go nine points at the top of the Premier League as they beat the Cherries 2-0.

Salah has established himself as a Liverpool and Premier League great, notably winning the Champions League and Premier League since his switch from Roma. The winger is not finished yet either and is targeting more triumphs this season. However, with his contract ending at the end of the season, it remains to be seen how far Salah can climb up the top scorers' list with just 15 games of the season remaining.
DID YOU KNOW?
The Premier League's top ever goalscorer is Alan Shearer with 260 goals. The Newcastle legend is followed by Harry Kane (213), Wayne Rooney (208), Andy Cole (187) and Aguero (184) before Salah who may be hopeful of overtaking Cole by the end of the season.

Salah's future beyond this season remains uncertain with Saudi Arabian clubs hoping to convince him to depart European football. For the moment though, the Egyptian is focused on the remaining games of the season with a quadruple still possible. Up next, the Reds host Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg before travelling to Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round.
