Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah delivered an impressive performance just days after rejecting a £150m bid from Al-Ittihad. He scored his 188th goal in a Liverpool game, marking his 150th different match with a goal. Despite the ongoing rumors of a potential £200m offer, Salah demonstrated his focus and commitment on the field.
Salah’s consistent performance against Aston Villa showcased his prowess as he has now scored in seven of his last seven starts against the team. He has also either scored or assisted in Liverpool’s last 10 league games, displaying his crucial role in the team’s success.
Liverpool’s start to the season has been impressive, earning 10 points from four games. Despite the transfer market distractions, Liverpool has remained dominant, including the departure rumors surrounding Jordan Henderson and Fabinho and failed bids for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
Liverpool’s new signings, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez, showcased their potential in the game. Szoboszlai scored his first goal for Liverpool with a well-executed half-volley, while Nunez displayed his dynamic playing style, despite missing several goal-scoring opportunities. Nunez’s shot, unintentionally deflected by Matty Cash, resulted in an own goal for Villa.
Villa, who started the season with four consecutive wins, suffered their second heavy defeat. Their defensive weaknesses were exposed by Liverpool’s attacking duo of Nunez and Salah, who took advantage of Villa’s high defensive line. Trent Alexander-Arnold, captaining Liverpool for the first time at Anfield, stood out for his exceptional performance from the back.
Unai Emery’s tactical decision to bring forward Leon Bailey as a substitute for injured defender Diego Carlos backfired, as Liverpool scored their second goal immediately after the change. Liverpool’s dominance on the field further highlighted their desire to keep Salah despite the ongoing transfer rumors.
