Liverpool edge closer to Premier League title with win over Aston Villa
Alisson and Mane return for Premier League restart
Liverpool moved a step closer to securing their first Premier League title in 30 years with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at an empty Anfield on Sunday.
Sadio Mane gave the Reds the lead just before the break, tapping home from close range after Curtis Jones had pulled the ball back from the byline.
Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage from the penalty spot 20 minutes from time after being brought down by Frederic Guilbert.
The win moved Liverpool 23 points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Jurgen Klopp's side can now wrap up the title with victory at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.
