MOHAMED SALAH is back to his best and smiling again, meaning Liverpool fans will be delighted.
The Egyptian doubled the Reds lead over Newcastle at Anfield.

From the resulting penalty, Salah tucked the ball home to put Jurgen Klopp’s side 2-0 up.
But what the No 11 done after the goal would have pleased Liverpool fans just as much.
Salah has been criticised for his serious celebrations in which he stares at the crowd.
The repeated gesture did spark fears among fans that he was unhappy or out to send a message across.
This time it was all smiles though before he was embraced by his team mates.
After celebrations cooled down, Salah kissed the floor before fist-bumping Van Dijk, cracking another smile.
The Reds knew at half-time that they were currently extending their gap at the top to six points while Manchester City were being held at Leicester.
Dejan Lovren gave Liverpool the lead in the first half with a thumping finish.
Raheem Sterling is going head-to-head with his former club for the Premier League title.
He did take the chance to praise Salah before the pair face off in an unmissable clash at the Etihad next Thursday.
“I’m not surprised. He’s gone to Liverpool and it’s clicked for him,” Sterling said.
“Every player has a moment when they are good, very good and then it clicks for them.
“He’s been exceptional. It’s how you maintain it.
“And he’s maintained that perfectly and that’s a credit to him.”
