Recap
Salah's legend in the Premier League continues to grow as the Egyptian put on a masterclass against Watford at Anfield.
The attacker's nibble footwork saw him open the scoring after four minutes, and he claimed his brace shortly before half-time.
The Hornets offered little resistance, and Liverpool were busy doing the part of the job they enjoy most on the front foot.
Roberto Firmino put the game to bed as he found the back of the net immediately after the restart, leaving his strike partner to finish the game in style.
The Egypt international completed his hat-trick after 75 minutes, and claimed his fourth of the night five minutes from time.
Tosun relieved the pressure on Everton manager Sam Allardyce, as the Turkey international made a huge impact at Stoke.
It was Everton's first away win since December, and the Merseyside club remain ninth after a poor campaign in England's top division.
The Germany-born forward has impressed since arriving in the January transfer window from Besiktas, and he opened the scoring after 69 minutes.
The Potters had lost Charlie Adams to a red card in the first half after a reckless challenge on Wayne Rooney, but the hosts continued to fight for the points.
Stoke were rewarded as Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting grabbed an equaliser with only 13 minutes remaining, but Tosun played heartbreaker as he scored the winner with six minutes left on the clock.
It appears West Brom's tenure in the Premier League is almost over, and manager Alan Pardew hasn't been able to revive fortunes since his arrival.
It seemed a vital three points was close to being achieved as Jay Rodriguez gave West Brom a 49th-minute lead at Bournemouth, but the result turned sour for the visitors.
Jordon Ibe smashed in a long-range effort to make it 1-1 with 13 minutes remaining, and Junior Stanislas' wonderful free-kick won the game in the final minute.
Huddersfield fired blanks as they welcomed Palace, and Eagles manager Roy Hodgson was visibly delighted as his side won 2-0.
James Tomkins converted from close range in the first half as Palace took the lead. Luka Milivojevic was clinical from the penalty spot after 68 minutes after Andros Townsend was tripped in the box.
It was a victory that was desperately needed by Hodgson, and Palace are now out of the relegation zone, climbing above West Ham into 16th.
