Sports-A seventh straight win at Anfield takes Liverpool five points clear atop the Premier League table.

As they sign off for the international break with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Slot strides to his 15th win in 17 games since succeeding Jurgen Klopp, and his team were good value for their latest success.

Not only did they dominate possession against an ailing Villa side-who have lost four on the bounce under Emery for the first time.

But their final xG was 2.02 to the visitors’ 1.5 by the final whistle.

Mo Salah’s consistency for Liverpool is simply incredible 🇪🇬👑

◼ 2017/18: 44 goals, 15 assists
◼ 2018/19: 27 goals, 10 assists
◼ 2019/20: 23 goals, 13 assists
◼ 2020/21: 31 goals, 6 assists
◼ 2021/22: 31 goals, 15 assists
◼ 2022/23: 30 goals, 16 assists
◼ 2023/24: 25 goals, 14 assists
◼ 2024/25: 10 goals, 10 assists

A reminder that he wasn’t even nominated for the Ballon d’Or this year… 🤷‍♂

A couple of smart Kelleher stops aside, Villa rarely threatened to equalise an early Nunez goal, and Salah struck late on to cap off another fine week for the Reds.

They visit Southampton in their first game back after the break, while Aston Villa will host Crystal Palace. That’s all from Anfield today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
