The Egypt international has taken up near-constant presence on the scoresheet since joining the Reds from AS Roma in the summer, surpassing his personal best for a single season by mid-December.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the No.11 reflected on a number of the key markers in his hot streak – from the importance of the first goal to the solo effort against Everton that is his favourite to date…
On his first goal, at Watford…
It was a great feeling to score in my first game for Liverpool. I was very, very happy. To start with the team in the Premier League is a special feeling, a special moment. I felt [part of the club] from the players from the first day; all them of are humble and everyone is very nice. That game and my first goal, that’s what I wanted to do.
On his counter-attack strike against Arsenal at Anfield…
To score against Arsenal in a big game, a big team, and the way I scored – I like it. Speed on the counter-attack. The result was good for us. I was thinking if someone was on the other side that I’d pass the ball, 100 per cent. But I was fast, maybe faster than anyone, so I took the decision to shoot. I missed some chances before but this one was good, and that’s the most important thing!

On his equaliser past Burnley…
With this boss, I play a little bit closer to the goal than at any other club or with any coach. I’m always very close to the goal to score. I expected the ball from Emre, then I had the run and the ball control. It was a good finish. In the beginning, when I had just signed for Liverpool, it was a little bit different to Roma. But after that I knew what the coach wanted from me, and the quality of the players makes everything easier for me. From the first day I knew what I wanted to do, and I scored four goals in pre-season so I had a good start from the beginning.
On his double as a substitute at Stoke City…
That game was special. You are on the bench and then you go on to score two goals to help the team with a good result. Sadio scored the first goal and for the second goal, he did everything and played a great ball. I took the decision to volley it – a good finish. But, in the end, Sadio did everything for that goal.
On his Merseyside derby curler…
This one is special. It had power, skill, finishing. I choose this one as my best goal so far.
