Mo Salah becomes first away player to score Premier League hat-trick at Man Utd

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has become the first player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick away from home against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The in-form Egyptian helped himself to the fourth matchball of his Liverpool career during a prolific 12-minute spell either side of half time, helping Liverpool to a historic 5-0 drubbing of their greatest rivals.

Salah, who had earlier set up Naby Keita for the opening goal, took his tally for the season to 15 goals in just 12 appearances across all competitions, and 10 in nine Premier League outings.

The winger is the first opposing player to have ever taken the matchball away from Old Trafford in the Premier League era.

Salah is also the first away player to net three goals against Manchester United at Old Trafford in any competition since Ronaldo did so for Real Madrid in the Champions League in April 2003 - more than 18 years ago.

In addition to Salah and Keita, Diogo Jota also helped himself to a goal as Liverpool recorded their biggest ever away win over Man United.
