Liverpool finally rediscovered their touch with a convincing 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield, ending a dismal run of six defeats in seven matches.

Goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch secured the much-needed win, easing pressure on manager Arne Slot.

Fans rally behind Slot

The Anfield crowd played a crucial role, vocally backing Slot even when the game was goalless.

The Dutchman, who guided Liverpool to the Premier League title last season, praised the fans for their loyalty and support during the club’s rough patch.“It means a lot,” said Slot. “The support came when we were struggling, not when things were easy. That’s what makes this club special.”

Salah reaches 250 Liverpool goals

Salah reached another milestone with his 250th goal for the Reds, joining legends Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in Liverpool’s history books. The Egyptian capitalized on a blunder from Emiliano Martinez to score just before halftime.

Slot hailed his star forward, calling the feat “almost unbelievable.”
Beyond his goal, Salah impressed with his work rate and attack, repeatedly tormenting Lucas Digne on the right flank.

Reds reignite confidence ahead of crucial tests

The result lifted Liverpool to third in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Arsenal. It also restored belief ahead of crucial clashes against Real Madrid in the Champions League and Manchester City next weekend.

Salah admitted the season has been “tricky” due to new arrivals needing time to adapt but said the team is “back on track.”
