Since this road trip against Nottingham Forest on September 14 (1-0), Liverpool have not lost a single match. And we wonder who will manage to stop this insolent series of the Reds. Four days after having reduced Leverkusen to smithereens (4-0), Arne Slot’s men were back at it again against Aston Villa this Saturday (2-0).
Darwin Núñez opened the scoring on a lightning counter attack led by Mohamed Salah in the first half (20th, 1-0), while the Egyptian completed his team’s success after a 50-meter run, to score his 10th goal of the season (84th, 2-0). The only downside: the injury exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold, 18 days before a shock against Real Madrid in C1. In the standings, Liverpool remains leader more than ever, with 5 points over runner-up Manchester City. Aston Villa are 8th.
