Liverpool vs Aston Villa live: Score and latest updates from Premier League
The TelegraphIf this is to be Mohamed Salah’s final season at Anfield he may end it with every personal and team honour he craves as his attacking masterclass allowed Liverpool to seize the initiative in the title race. Manchester City’s latest defeat ensured Liverpool supporters who were already enthusiastic about their team’s form were bouncing into the stadium. The home side began with the same intensity as in midweek, pouring forward with Salah leading the cavalry charge, twisting and turning Lucas Digne to such an extent it looked like the French left back was ready to surrender at half-time, limping to the players’ tunnel no doubt hoping for a sympathetic glance from his coach. He put Liverpool ahead with aplomb on 20 minutes when Van Dijk’s pass sent Salah for what looked like a certain one-on-one with Emiliano Martinez.
