December 26, (THEWILL) – On Boxing Day, Liverpool returned to English Premier League action with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa.
Mohamed Salah was a standout performer, scoring the first goal and assisting in the second. His goal was set up by Andrew Robertson, who became the defender with the most Premier League assists in history with the assist records in the premiership era.
The match was an entertaining one, with both teams putting in strong efforts and showcasing their skills on the pitch. Despite Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins scoring a goal to bring the score to 2-1, Liverpool’s substitute Stefan Bajcetic scored his first Premier League goal late in the match to secure the win for his team.
The victory brings Liverpool within five points of the top four in the league standings and was a promising result for the team as they aim to move up in the rankings and a positive sign for their future performances in the EPL.
On Friday, Liverpool will play host to Leicester City in their final League match of the year. Villa’s 2022 is over as their next match will be on New Year’s Day at Tottenham Hotspur.
