Mohamed Salah Leads Liverpool to Another Win Over Aston Villa
by privatebet.com - 2021/12/12
Liverpool continued their Premier League domination in Saturday’s match against Aston Villa, but Mohamend Salah’s winning goal wasn’t the only thing that got everyone talking. It was also a big night for Villa’s manager Steven Gerrard, who received a hero’s welcome as he walked out at Anfield. Before being appointed as the head coach of Aston Villa, Gerrard spent 17 years playing for Liverpool. He became one of the team’s all-time greats, and this game marks his first return to Anfield in six years. Gerrard wasn’t too shaken by the Reds’ sentimental reaction – after all, he was there representing Aston Villa, not Liverpool. "I understand that there was going to be some noise around the game. People appreciate the bond I still have with the Liverpool fans but that's normal because I had so many years here," said Gerrard after the match. Gerrard’s inside knowledge of Liverpool’s inner-workings wasn’t enough to give his team a win. The Reds came out victorious thanks to a single goal scored by Salah, and Anfield roared in relief as his penalty shot gave them an advantage. Liverpool faced many obstacles against Villa, but they remain one of the Premier League leaders after this match. They’re just one point behind Man City, while Chelsea is in a close third spot.
