Egypt international Mohamed Salah received his sixth Liverpool FC Player of the Month award of the season for his performances in March on Thursday.

The 25-year-old winger maintained his remarkable form throughout the Reds' five games in the period, scoring six goals – including four against Watford at Anfield and an important winner at Crystal Palace.

Salah collected the trophy at Liverpool's training ground, Melwood, and told the club's official website: "Thank you. I’m very happy to win it again, but as I said many times the most important thing is to win the games and to get the points. I always try to score to help the team to get the points."

The quick forward, who now has 39 goals for the season, beat Andy Robertson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to the accoade.

When asked which of his six strikes in March was his favourite, the attacker found it tough to choose between two, Salah said: "I don’t know, all of them are very important for me but if I [had to] choose one, it would probably be Crystal Palace because [it was] after 85 or 86 minutes, and also the hat-trick, the third one against Watford."

"That was a good feeling."
