Red-hot Salah wins Player of the Month

Mohamed Salah's stunning form in November has earned the Liverpool star the Premier League's Player of the Month award.

The 25-year-old, who is the first Egyptian to claim the honour, scored seven goals in four top-flight matches last month.

The former Roma winger has helped Jurgen Klopp's side to fifth in the table, with a last-16 Champions League showdown against Porto to come following a group phase in which the Reds scored 23 times.

Pep Guardiola took the Manager of the Month prize for the third time in a row, having stretched Manchester City's winning streak to a record 15 matches.

Meanwhile, the resurgent Wayne Rooney landed the Goal of the Month award for his audacious long-range lob for Everton against West Ham.

The retired England legend has nine league goals this campaign.
