Liverpool Ends Four-Game Losing Streak with 2-0 Aston Villa Win Led by Mohamed Salah

Liverpool ended a damaging run with a 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa at Anfield, moving into the top three and halting a sequence of recent defeats. Mohamed Salah scored his 250th Liverpool goal after a mistake by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, joining Ian Rush and Roger Hunt in the club’s all-time scorers. Ryan Gravenberch added a second when his shot deflected in off Villa defenders, and reporters noted both goals contained elements of fortune. Manager Arne Slot said small margins and a bit of luck made the difference, praised his players’ character and the fans’ backing, and received visible support from the Kop during the match. The result, earned despite early Villa chances and woodwork strikes, provides a timely confidence boost ahead of difficult upcoming fixtures such as Real Madrid.
