Salah, reportedly a transfer target for Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, netted goal number 188 of his Liverpool career with a toe-poke at the back post in the 55th minute.
Szoboszlai had given Liverpool a dream start with a left-footed half-volley from the edge of the 18-yard box after three minutes. Liverpool doubled their lead when Darwin Nunez's firm shot hit the post and rebounded into the net off Villa defender Matty Cash.
