It was Liverpool's biggest ever win at Old Trafford and its largest success against its old foe at any venue since 1925.

"I think it is great to win 5-0 here, we knew before the game it would be tough if we did not play our game," Salah said.

"We knew they will come and try to give everything so we had to give 100 percent.

"We just tried to play our football and play in between the lines to create more chances. We did that and were lucky to score.

"As long as the team keeps winning I am happy and to give my best to the team to win. The first goal I gave to Naby Keita to score."

Salah is the first away player to score a treble at Old Trafford since Brazil legend Ronaldo in 2003.

He also became the highest scoring African player in the history of the Premier League with 107 goals, three more than Didier Drogba.

The 29-year-old has now scored in 10 successive games in all competitions, while Liverpool is unbeaten in its last 22 games in all competitions.

"We know what it takes to win the Premier League, we did it two years ago. A big win here but still only three points," Salah said.

"We try to win each game and try to win the title. We need to play to win everything. From our heads from preseason, we need to win the Premier League and hopefully we go for that.

"After halftime we were talking in the dressing room to just keep going and score as many goals as we could."
