The defending Premier League champions Liverpool arrested their disastrous run of form with a vital 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday night, ending a sequence of five consecutive domestic defeats.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and a second-half strike from the returning Ryan Gravenberch secured the much-needed three points.
Manager Arne Slot hailed the performance, noting the team "showed up" and demonstrated they were ready for the high-pressure game after a turbulent week.
While Villa boss Unai Emery lamented a costly mistake that led to Salah’s opener, the win propels Liverpool up the table and gives Slot a massive confidence boost ahead of the daunting Champions League and Manchester City fixtures.
