In the early morning of November 2, the 10th round of the Premier League ushered in the highlight match. Liverpool, worth a total of 1.15 billion, played at home against Aston Villa, a team worth a total of 550 million.

In the League Cup in midweek, Slott sent out a full substitute lineup. They lost 0-3 at home to Crystal Palace. In addition, they lost to Brentford away from home last weekend. Liverpool faced another league encounter. In the last 6 games in all competitions, Liverpool has 1 win and 5 losses, and the only victory occurred in the Champions League.

In other words, Liverpool has suffered five consecutive losses in domestic competitions. Villa's situation is exactly the opposite. After defeating Manchester City 1-0 last weekend, Villa rebounded strongly with 6 wins and 1 loss in the last 7 games in all competitions. The only defeat occurred in the Europa League.

Not long after the game started, Rogers' shot hit the post, which also sounded the alarm for Liverpool's defense.

In the 17th minute, Liverpool launched an effective attack. Salah made a 45-degree pass, and Gakpo's header seemed to be a pass and a shot. Ekitic had stretched his legs to the limit and still failed to touch the ball.

After 2 minutes, Villa immediately retaliated. Cash's shot was blocked by Van Dijk. Mamadashvili flew to save and the ball hit the door frame.

Compared with the losing streak, Liverpool players are in significantly better condition, which can also be seen from the number of shots.

In the 43rd minute, Soboszlai made a 45-degree pass and Ekitic scored with a header. However, Ekitic was obviously offside before receiving the ball and the goal was invalid.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Villa's defense made a big mistake. Martinez and Pau Torres failed to form a tacit understanding. Martin's pass turned into an own goal assist. Salah scored directly and received the gift.

This is the 250th goal Salah scored on behalf of Liverpool, completing a milestone. At the same time, Salah scored 278 goals for Liverpool, tying Rooney's record of scoring goals for a single team in the Premier League.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool completed a total of 13 shots, while Villa had only 5. After the start of the second half, Villa's defense had problems again.

In the 58th minute, Paulo Torres' pass was intercepted. Liverpool attacked very quickly. Hrafenberch kicked the ball from the top of the penalty area and the ball went into the net.

In the end, Liverpool, worth a total of 1.15 billion, defeated Villa 2-0, ending its five-game losing streak in domestic competitions and its four-game losing streak in the league. After this game, Liverpool's points reached 18 points, the same as Bournemouth, temporarily ranking third in the standings.
