Victor Moses did an excellent job in helping Liverpool defeat Crystal Palace 3-1 in Anfield on Saturday.
Liverpool's victory lifted them to the Premier League summit with 16 points from 8 matches.
With previous leaders Arsenal playing West Brom on Sunday, the Reds are a point clear at the top having played a game more.
There was no doubting the Nigerian, who played a perfect role behind Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.
Suarez was the leading man in his first appearance at Anfield since biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, and his opener after 14 minutes was a case in point.
After good work from Victor Moses, he passed to the overlapping Jose Enrique and then collected his return ball to fire in from 12 yards despite falling over.
It showed poise, balance and strength, and within three minutes Palace were further behind when Enrique's long pass was headed onto Sturridge, who turned Damien Delaney before netting.
Former Crystal Palace winger, Moses', hardworking approach proved crucial, however, and he almost grabbed his own from two yards out before the break.
