Before Saturday, Liverpool had lost four Premier League games in a row.
The balance was so bad that no equivalent could be found in the club’s history for 72 years.
It looked especially bad because in the summer the manager Arne Slot spent almost 500 million euros to strengthen its team. A real star shower arrived at Anfield Alexander Isakin, By Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Miloš Kerkezin, by Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni in terms of.
Slot tried to turn back the clock to last season’s success by dropping both the underperforming Kerkez and the ineffective Wirtz from the start of the Aston Villa match.
Only the French Ekitike could fit into the opening of the new acquisitions.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, had won their last four league games and started strongly.
Morgan Rogers shot the ball into Liverpool’s goal post in the fifth minute of the game and a quarter of an hour later the hosts’ goal Giorgi Mamardashvili stretched to the top defense Matty Cash’s in the upper corner pull.
The Polish national team man’s shot changed direction disgustingly From Virgil van Dijkbut Mamardashvili still got in the way of the ball.
Liverpool needed help from Aston Villa to get their crisis reversed.
The Reds got a perfect gift right at the end of the opening period, when Villa’s goalkeeper Emi Martinez passed the ball directly Mo for Salah.
The Egyptian put it into an empty net.
Salah didn’t really dare to give the lead goal a proper air, even though it’s a historic hit for him. The goal was the attacker’s 276th in the Premier League, where he has been either a finisher or a passer.
Only Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) has been involved in as many league goals for only one club.
In addition, the hit was Salah’s 250th Liverpool shirt. No longer in club history Ian Rush (346) and Roger Hunt (285) are ahead of him in the statistics.
In the second period, he replaced Wirtz in the opening Ryan Gravenberch shot 2-0 final numbers. This time too, there was a lot of luck involved, because the ball took the bounces from no less than two Villa players.
Thanks to their victory, Liverpool rose to the third place in the league, but the gap with Arsenal at the top is still seven points.
