Salah takes a goal and an assistance when Liverpool takes an important step to lift the title of the Premier League.
Without discouragement playing at Manchester City's house, Liverpool produced a decent performance of champions to move 11 points at the top of the Premier League.
A 2-0 victory in Etihad on Sunday extended Liverpool's advantage over Arsenal in second place and consigned four times to Champions City to another humiliating defeat in a growing season.
On Wednesday, a 3-1 defeat against Real Madrid sent the Pep Guardiola team to collide with the Champions League. Returning to domestic matters on Sunday, and the city was helpless to slow down the liverpool's departure towards the title.
Mohamed Salah was again the star artist of Liverpool when he opened the scoring with his 30th goal of the season before establishing Dominik Szoboszlai to double the advantage before part time.
A trip to Etihad has been the toughest test of all, but the city's defensive fragilities were easily exposed and also lost the presence of the injured Erling Haaland in attack.
Liverpool, on the contrary, had his talisman in shape and shot when Salah wore his amazing account this season and 16 assists in 27 appearances in the Premier League.
The Egyptian triggered visitors in front of 14 minutes thanks to a routine of the game brilliantly executed.
Alexis Mac Allister's corner was thrown by Szoboszlai on the road to Salah and his shot diverted Nathan Ake beyond the desperate immersion of Ederson.
At the other extreme, the city's own Egyptian international showed his ability to finish, but Omar Marmous had diverted before being played by Phil Foden.
The end of the city Jeremy Doku was jumping to Trent Alexander-Arnold at will, however, the Belgian constantly could not deliver a revealing cross or shot.
Salah was not as indulgent as he ran to a long ball above and rose to Szoboszlai to Ederson on the wrong foot.
The final result could have been much more humiliating for the city if Liverpool had been so precise in the counterattack after the break.
Curtis Jones had a third goal discarded by a VAR review for offside after Szoboszlai failed to get his career for the heart of the city's defense.
Ederson was forced to an impressive salvation by Luis Díaz and only a brilliant Tackle of the last left -handed left of Abdukodir Khusanov denied Szoboszlai a second.
Marmush scored a hat-trick in the 4-0 victory last weekend over Newcastle and remained an animated threat while showing another effort in the front of Alisson Becker's goal.
But City lacked the final product to make almost 70 percent possession.
Salah told Sky Sports that it was an “incredible result” for Liverpool.
“It is a very difficult place to come to play. They are a difficult team with an incredible manager. I'm glad we won the game, “said Salah, the game player, to Sky Sports.
“It is special to win here, especially when you are in the race for the title. Now we need to keep calm because sometimes the pressure comes to us. ”
Meanwhile, despite an eighth defeat in the league of the season, the Guardiola team remains in the fourth and will be sure to secure its place in the Champions League next season with an end among the top five that is probably sufficient.
In the first game of the Premier League on Sunday, Newcastle scored four goals in 11 minutes against Nottingham Forest, but still had to endure a late fight to seal a 4-3 victory.
A wave of goals in the first half, including two more for Alexander Isak, gave Newcastle a 4-1 advantage in the break at St James' Park.
But Forest, who led after six minutes, set up a return that provided a nervous ending.
The victory moved Newcastle to the fifth and increased its hopes of a end between the first four and the qualification of the Champions League.
