Liverpool are closing in on another victory in the Premier League, as they have now gone 2-0 ahead against Aston Villa in Saturday’s late kick-off at Anfield.
The Reds, who started the day two points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, went in front after 20 minutes when Mohamed Salah assisted Darwin Nunez for his third goal of the season. It was a classic counter-attacking goal from Arne Slot’s side, who would go five points clear with a victory, following on from Manchester City’s defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion earlier in the day.

The second goal has now arrived for Liverpool, and it’s come better late than never. This time, it’s Salah on the scoresheet, as he grabs his eighth Premier League goal of the season – again, it’s another breakaway goal, as an error in the Aston Villa defence allows the Egyptian forward to race through on ball, before showing extreme composure to finish beyond Emi Martinez.
