Mohamed Salah has scored one goal and set up the equalizer by Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Aston Villa that stretched its lead in the Premier League to eight points. Salah tucked away with his league-leading 24th goal of the campaign to put Liverpool ahead. The leaders fell behind by halftime following a volley by Youri Tielemans and a header from Ollie Watkins. Alexander-Arnold ran onto an inside pass from Salah and drove in a shot that deflected past Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez in the 61st. Liverpool has now played a game more than second-place Arsenal.
