Liverpool strengthened their lead in the English Premier League after beating their guest Aston Villa 2-0 on Saturday in the eleventh round of the competition.

Uruguayan Darwin Nunez gave the Reds the lead in the 20th minute, before Egyptian star Mohamed Salah sealed the result in the 84th minute after he ran with the ball from the middle of the field before chipping it over the goalkeeper, raising his tally to 8 goals this season and inflicting a fourth consecutive loss on Aston Villa.

Liverpool raised its score to 28 points at the top, 5 points ahead of title holder Manchester City, which suffered its fourth consecutive loss after falling to Brighton 2-1 earlier today.
