Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday to make it three straight victories in the Premier League.
Within the first three minutes, the home squad was well on its way thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s maiden Reds goal—a powerful drive from 18 yards.
Darwin Nunez’s shot off the crossbar was then followed by a Matty Cash own goal in the first half, and Mohamed Salah added a third goal for Jürgen Klopp’s team following a Nunez knockdown in the second half.
Following his match-winning double last weekend, Nunez was moved to the attack, while Joe Gomez started in place of the suspended Virgil van Dijk and Curtis Jones started in midfield.
The captain’s armband was worn by Trent Alexander-Arnold.
