Liverpool finally ended their four-game losing streak in the Premier League, securing a 2–0 victory over Aston Villa at a lively Anfield. The night belonged to Mohamed Salah, who netted his 250th goal for the club — a milestone that cements his place among the all-time greats of the modern era.

Aston Villa nearly took the lead when Rogers struck the post, but just before half-time, a mistake by goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez gifted Salah a golden opportunity. The Egyptian king made no mistake, converting the error into his landmark goal and matching Wayne Rooney’s tally for goal involvements with a single club.

After the break, Arne Slot’s men looked far more composed and controlled the rhythm of the game. A deflected strike from Ryan Gravenberch doubled Liverpool’s lead, sealing three vital points and restoring much-needed confidence to the squad.
