"Liverpool avoided a fifth-straight Premier League defeat as they ran out 2-0 victors over Aston Villa at Anfield. Mohamed Salah's 250th Liverpool goal and Ryan Gravenberch's deflected effort were enough to see Arne Slot's side return to winning ways and move up to third in the table. Hugo Ekitike had a goal chalked off, whiole Villa had several good sightings of goal throughout."
"Despite the hosts racing out the blocks, it was Villa who had the game's first real chance. With five minutes gone, Morgan Rogers saw his whipped effort cannon off the far post and rebound to safety. The hosts then had another decent spell before the visitors again went close, a wonderful save from Giorgi Mamardashvili being the only thing preventing Matty Cash's deflected shot from finding the top corner."
Liverpool ended a run of four successive league defeats by beating Aston Villa 2-0 at Anfield to avoid a fifth straight loss. Mohamed Salah opened the scoring after Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez misplaced a pass, marking Salah's 250th Liverpool goal. Ryan Gravenberch doubled the lead with a left-foot strike that took a deflection and wrong-footed Martinez. Villa threatened at times — Morgan Rogers hit the post and Matty Cash’s effort required a fine save — and Hugo Ekitike had a header ruled out for offside. Liverpool moved up to third in the table and face Real Madrid next.
