The Reds dominated early on, eventually capitalising as Mo Salah ran clear on the counter and Darwin Nunez collected the ball to fire past Emi Martinez.
Both sides had chances in the rest of the first half, with Villa forcing two great saves from Kelleher, though the first half ended with the home side ahead.
The second half was a far less eventful affair, with Liverpool dominating possesion but both sides finding it difficult to carve out clear-cut chances.
As Villa chased an equaliser, Salah chased a clearance and came off better, with the ball defelcting into his path to take him one-v-one by the halfway line. The Egyptian raced to the Villa box and calmly lifted a chip over Martinez to finish the match and take Liverpool back to the summit of the Premier League .

Liverpool vs Aston Villa LIVE Slot: Liverpool “not getting carried away" In his press conference, Arne Slot told the media that he is “not trying to manage expectations in the squad because we don’t talk about it.
“The only expectation I have is that they put in the effort every day and they have done that. Usually with that results come as well.”
He added that the squad are “not getting carried away by being top of the league”, though he hopes that fans can enjoy the situation.
As well as his comments on Curtis Jones, the Dutchman also commented on Luis Diaz’s upturn in form: “I have no clue why, but maybe it is because the team provides a lot of chances for these players. If they are in a promising situation, then they can score a goal,” he said.

Emery: Champions League is “the objective" Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Unai Emery said that Villa are “enjoying the way we are doing”.
“Last year was a very successful season in the Premier League, getting to the Champions League. This year, the objective for us is to keep it.
“There are another seven teams that we have to be more intelligent than and more competitive. After last year, we were a surprise when we were getting the fourth position.
“We are a competitive team to be in the top seven, top five, top four.
“If we want to play in the Champions League or in Europe, if we want to be contenders for a trophy, we have to play three matches a week. If we are not able to play, focusing mentally and physically in this direction, we’re not going to get our objective,” he added.
“Tomorrow at Liverpool will be completely difficult, they are the favourites to beat us. They are the favourites to win the Premier League this season, now in front of [Manchester] City and Arsenal because they started very well.
“Of course we are motivated, we are excited as well and we are keeping balance.
“Hopefully on the field we can show our capacity to face them, competing and with the possibility to get points.”
