Mohamed Salah emerged as a pivotal figure for Liverpool during their recent 2-2 match with Aston Villa, extending Liverpool’s lead in the Premier League to eight points.
Salah netted his 24th goal of the season, which is the highest in the league, giving Liverpool an early advantage at Villa Park in the 29th minute.
However, the situation took a turn by halftime, as Aston Villa responded with a stunning equalizer from Youri Tielemans and a subsequent goal via a header from Ollie Watkins.

In the second half, Alexander-Arnold capitalized on a pass from Salah, unleashing a shot that took a deflection to bypass Villa’s goalkeeper Emi Martinez, allowing Liverpool to secure a crucial point in the 61st minute.
This result prevented Liverpool from facing what would have been only their second league loss of the season.
Liverpool has now played one more match than Arsenal, who remains in second place and appears to be the only strong contender for the championship.

The Reds are on a quest to clinch their 20th title in top-flight football, a milestone that would equal Manchester United’s record.
Mohamed Salah is at the forefront of Liverpool’s title pursuit, leading the league in scoring while also boasting the highest number of assists with 15, significantly outpacing his nearest rival, Erling Haaland from Manchester City, by five goals.
