Arne Slot salutes Mohamed Salah after scoring 250th Liverpool goal

Liverpool boss Arne Slot paid tribute to Mohamed Salah after his 250th goal for the club helped stop their rot with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

The Reds came into the match with their Premier League title defence in tatters after four successive defeats amid a wider run of six losses in seven games in all competitions.

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 Reds’ first league win since September 20.
