MOHAMED SALAH has made history as the first Premier League star to be named Player of the Month three times in the same season.
Salah, 25, scored six goals in four matches for the Reds – including four in a thrashing at Watford and a crucial winner away at Crystal Palace.
Salah also scored in a 2-0 win over Newcastle United.
The Egyptian star, who has 39 goals in all competitions, also picked up the award in November and February.
Salah is now valued at just 6/1 to win the Ballon d’Or this season after his incredible season.
His goal on Wednesday in the Champions League has led Liverpool to the semi-final – where the Reds got a favourable draw against Roma.
Manager Jurgen Klopp has told Real Madrid to leave the Egyptian alone.
The Reds boss said: “I know that Mo feels really good here, and he knows our style of play is perfect for him.

“I don’t have any worries.”
He added: “I already knew him from Basel. After that, we lost track of him a bit.”
“I must stress we have an outstanding scouting department. They always told: ‘Sign him’.
“You could see when he was playing alongside Edin Dzeko at Roma that he can kick the ball around.”
