Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah won the player award after scoring four goals in three games.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old is the joint-highest scorer this season with 24 goals, level with Tottenham’s Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

He said of the award: “It’s a wonderful achievement for the club and certainly for a group of players that have improved as the season has gone on and knowing that we’ve still got a lot of work to do.”<\/p>\n
