Mohamed Salah showed his humble side by declining the chance to say he's better than ever before following Liverpool's 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sunday.
The Egypt international opened the scoring at the Etihad Stadium in the 14th minute of the match after some good work from Dominik Szoboszlai.
And Salah then provided an assist for his team-mate with eight minutes of the first half to play.
Liverpool were in cruise control throughout the match and, after Arsenal's shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham yesterday, are 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Salah, whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season, was asked whether he's better now than ever before at the age of 32.
But the veteran, despite clocking up 50 goals and assists in all competitions, was reluctant to say that publicly.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "I don't know. It is opinion.
"Maybe people prefer my first seasons or now but I prefer now because winning the league, helping the young players, it is special.

He stated: "It is incredible. It is a very hard place to come and play here.
"They are a tough team and they have an incredible manager I am glad in the end we won the game.
