MOHAMED SALAH was labelled 'the best player in the world' on social media after his outrageous solo goal at Watford.
The Egyptian international scored Liverpool's fourth goal of the game in a 5-0 rout.
Salah received the ball from Roberto Firmino inside Watford's penalty area.
The 29-year-old showed his lighting-quick footwork to wriggle free of three Watford defenders.
He raced towards the byline and sat Craig Cathcart down, chopping the ball back onto his left foot.
And then the Liverpool star bent the ball into the far corner, leaving Ben Foster flat-footed at the near post.
Fans are hailing Salah as the best footballer on the planet right now.
