Salah nets 250th as Liverpool beat Aston Villa

Mohamed Salah scored his 250th Liverpool goal in a 2-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa, ending a run of four successive league defeats and moving Liverpool provisionally into third. Salah’s first-half injury-time strike followed a misplayed pass by Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, and Ryan Gravenberch sealed the victory after the break with a deflected effort. The milestone places Salah alongside Ian Rush and Roger Hunt as only the third player in club history to reach 250 goals. Manager Arne Slot praised Salah’s overall contribution and defensive work, and the result offered relief ahead of upcoming fixtures against Real Madrid and Manchester City. Off the pitch, Salah shared a post-match Instagram moment with his daughter that drew widespread fan support.
