While playing in the Anfield sunshine, both long- and short-tenured players for Liverpool made their marks in the triumph over Aston Villa.
The match on Sunday against Aston Villa was the most enjoyable one for fans to witness in a while.
The Reds got off to a fast start thanks to a beautiful left-footed effort from Dominik Szoboszlai, who has already been hand-picked as one of the acquisitions of the summer, before a Matty Cash own goal put Liverpool well in control.
In the 55th minute, Mohamed Salah put the game beyond doubt, allowing the Kop to relax and take it easy for the next 30 minutes.
For the bulk of the game, Liverpool was excellent, and FotMob’s momentum graphic showed how in command Jurgen Klopp’s squad was.
Nowadays, only Salah himself can be compared to Salah because he is now defying and breaking his own records.
With his goal against Unai Emery’s team, the Egyptian, according to Opta, became the first player since, you guessed it, himself, to score or provide an assist in 10 straight Premier League games.
In order to surpass his previous record—which he set in 2021 when he scored or assisted in 15 straight games—he would need to contribute to a goal in each of Liverpool’s upcoming six league games:
Wolves (A), West Ham (H), Tottenham (A), Brighton (A), Everton (H), and Nottingham Forest (H) are among the teams.
On Sunday, he scored in 150 separate Liverpool games, giving him 188 goals overall.
