Liverpool finally snapped their four-game losing streak in the Premier League with a convincing 2–0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday, as Mohamed Salah reached another incredible career milestone — his 250th goal for the club.
The Egyptian forward opened the scoring early in the match, capitalizing on a costly mistake from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, who failed to deal with a loose ball inside the box. Salah made no mistake, slotting home to give Liverpool the lead.
Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch doubled the advantage in the second half with a deflected strike that left Martínez wrong-footed, sealing a much-needed three points for the defending champions.
