"It's huge, Slot said of Salah's latest Liverpool milestone. It is almost unbelievable if you score 250 goals, let alone 250 goals for one club. You don't see that much in football any more. Apart from the goal he had a very good performance. When we had to play long, we mainly played to him and he held the ball and the team could come to him. What I liked was that he also helped the team defensively as well."
"Salah admitted he has not been happy with his performances this season but was adamant Liverpool will return to form after a summer of upheaval. I said at the beginning it is a very tricky season for us, we have a few new players, very good signings, but they need time to adapt to the team and we lost a few good players as well. We just need time to adapt and know each other's games and we will be fine."
Mohamed Salah scored his 250th goal for Liverpool in a 2-0 win over Aston Villa, opening the scoring after a calamitous Emiliano Martinez error. Ryan Gravenberch added a second to end Liverpool's four-match league losing run and lift the club to third in the table. The performance featured Salah holding long balls, enabling team transitions and contributing defensively around the halfway line. The win eased pressure on the head coach and was bolstered by strong Anfield support amid summer squad changes that require time for new players to adapt. The result offered signs of recovery after a difficult run.
