The tension in Anfield was almost tangible before kick-off. Four straight league defeats and a Carabao Cup exit had left Liverpool fans anxious, but Mohamed Salah’s composure soon calmed the nerves.

The Egyptian star capitalised on a shocking mistake from Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to slot home his 250th goal for the club and in doing so, he equalled Wayne Rooney’s record for goal involvements (276) for a single Premier League team.

A deflected effort from Ryan Gravenberch early in the second half sealed a 2-0 victory, a performance that reminded fans of Liverpool’s trademark intensity. The Kop faithful flooded social media with relief and optimism, with one fan posting: “Finally, the real Liverpool are back. We’ve missed this energy!”

At Stamford Bridge, Joao Pedro rediscovered his scoring boots as Chelsea secured a 1-0 win over a lifeless Tottenham side.

The Brazilian forward punished Spurs after a high press from Moises Caicedo forced a defensive error, coolly chipping the ball past Guglielmo Vicario. It was Pedro’s first goal in ten matches and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Chelsea’s intensity saw them dominate possession and chances, but Vicario’s heroics kept Spurs from collapsing entirely. The result lifted Enzo Maresca’s Blues into fourth place, level on points with Tottenham but clearly in better form.

Phil Foden then marked his 200th league appearance with a clever assist for Nico O’Reilly’s first Premier League goal, ensuring City stayed within touching distance of top spot.

Fans praised Guardiola’s rotation policy online, calling O’Reilly’s performance “a glimpse of City’s next generation.”
