Liverpool star Mohamed Salah wins November's Player of the Month award to match Steven Gerrard's record, while Reds boss Arne Slot joins an exclusive club with his Manager of the Month award.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has matched Steven Gerrard's feat after he was named the Premier League Player of the Month for November.

The Egypt international topped an eight-man poll which combined public votes with those from a panel of football experts.

Salah joined Manchester City's Erling Haaland, Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Nottingham Forest's Chris Wood in winning a Player of the Month award this season.

The 32-year-old earned the prize after he scored four goals and provided an assist in Liverpool's three Premier League games in November.

Salah matches Gerrard feat

Salah has now matched a feat previously achieved by a Liverpool legend, having equalled Gerrard's record of six Premier League Player of the Month awards.

The forward also has the same number as ex-Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo after adding to the awards he previously won in November 2017, February 2018, March 2018, October 2021 and October 2023.

As a result, he needs to win just one more Premier League Player of the Month award to equal the overall record of seven, which is currently held by former Man City striker Sergio Aguero and ex-Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane.

Salah is already making a case to win December's prize after beginning the month with three goals and two assists in two matches.

The Egyptian will have the chance to add to those impressive numbers when Liverpool face Fulham in Saturday's Premier League clash at Anfield.

Slot named Premier League Manager of the Month

While Salah scooped up the player's award, Arne Slot collected his first Premier League Manager of the Month award after he topped a poll which featured Brighton & Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler and Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil.

Slot prevailed in the three-man shortlist after he saw his side win all three of their Premier League games in November.

The Reds claimed home victories over Brighton and Aston Villa, before they came from 2-1 down to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary's.

As a result of those victories, the Liverpool boss has now joined an exclusive club, becoming just the fourth Dutch manager to win the award.

Martin Jol previously won the prize in December 2004, while Ronald Koeman and Erik ten Hag were three-time Manager of the Month winners during their time in the Premier League.
