Mo Salah bags 250th Liverpool goal as Reds end four-match losing run in the Premier League Updated / Saturday, 1 Nov 2025 22:28 Mo Salah netted just before the break Mohamed Salah's 250th goal for Liverpool helped them stop the rot with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield. But Salah's landmark effort just before half-time, courtesy of a howler from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, and Ryan Gravenberch's deflected effort after the break earned Liverpool's first league win since 20 September.

Villa hit a post twice inside the opening 20 minutes and things might have been different had one of those efforts gone in, but their four-match winning run ended. Ryan Gravenberch celebrates after his deflected shot on goal found the Villa net Matty Cash's cross deflected off Virgil van Dijk and was heading for the top corner until Giorgi Mamardashvili diverted it on to the crossbar.

The celebrations were for real shortly after, though, as Martinez produced an almighty blunder when he passed straight to Salah, who rolled into an empty net from just inside the penalty area for a historic goal. Liverpool killed the game in the 58th minute when Gravenberch, back from injury, advanced towards goal and saw his shot deflect off Pau Torres and wrongfoot Martinez.
