The Egyptian is the second player to score a hat-trick at the awards, alongside Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

He is the first Liverpool player to pick up the award since Jordan Henderson in 2019/20 after helping the club win their first title in 30 years.

Mohamed Salah has had a remarkable season, scoring 28 goals and providing 18 assists to lead Liverpool to their second Premier League title. The 32-year-old is now targeting a fourth Golden Boot award. With 46 goal contributions, Salah is one goal shy of the Premier League season record. Having recently extended his contract, he's also a strong contender for Premier League Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Year awards.
