Winner of Aston Villa this Saturday evening (1-0), Liverpool took off at the top of the Premier League.
The title is starting to smell good for Liverpool. Even though there are still 27 days to go, Arne Slot's Reds have taken a great option for a return to the top of English football by increasing their lead at the top of the standings to five points.
A few hours after Manchester City surprisingly fell against Brighton, Liverpool did not fail in their task when hosting Aston Villa. Without straining their talent too much, the Merseysiders won 2-0 against Unai Emery's protégés.
Salah carries Liverpool again
To score, the locals mainly relied on the transition phases. Their two goals came following counterattacks. Mohamed Salah was involved each time. On the 1e
goal, at the 20e minute, his breakthrough had been profitable for Darwin Nunez. And on the creation of the break (84e), it was he who took care of everything, with a perfect conclusion in front of Emiliano Martinez.
Through this very fine performance, the Egyptian confirms his return to favor. In the Premier League this season, he has 10 goals and 10 assists. And he also scored 20 times in 17 games, in all competitions. To think that he wasn't even one of the nominees for the last Ballon d'Or.
Liverpool are no longer stopping and their start to the campaign seems to be perfectly idyllic. In addition to being undisputed leaders of the championship, the Reds are at the top of the C1 with a flawless performance in 4 days. Slot couldn't have asked for a better start to the Anfield side.
